COMMERCIAL
Urban Property Tax consultants are committed to reducing commercial property tax valuations. We conduct a thorough review of our client’s property and introduce effective arguments to achieve our target value. Below are just a few of the methods used by our consultants:

Cost, Market, Income, and Equity are the focal points that Urban Property Tax will analyze for each commercial property. We will compile your condition issues, review recent sales (Market Approach) that are similar in characteristics and analyze your financial information (Income Approach) to ensure your property is being assessed at a fair market value and equally appraised with other similar properties. According to the Texas Property Tax Code, appraisal districts must assess all similar properties in a uniform and equal manner.

We review Appraisal District records for accuracy. Many times the property description can be incorrect on items such as class, condition, extent of a remodel, additional features, percent of occupancy, or incorrect square footage on the land or improvements. A correction in any one of these items can have a very big impact on the assessed value of your property.

Condition Issues that affect the market value of your property can be brought up during the protest process. To receive a value reduction, Urban Property Tax must provide documentation of the issue and an estimate of the cost to cure. Some common condition issues are foundation issues, HVAC issues, roof damage, and water damage.

Urban Property Tax will build a winning case that will result in maximum tax savings.

neighborhood.
