Fighting For The Underdogs In Commercial Property Tax Appeals

Property Tax Appraisers: What To Know

Many property tax owners hire a real estate appraiser when they believe that their property is overtaxed.

Real estate appraisers are an integral part of a successful property tax appeal, and there are many important factors to consider when identifying the right appraiser for your property.

What To Consider When Hiring A Property Appraiser

Like many other kinds of professionals, property appraisers may specialize or devote a significant portion of their time to certain types of work. Businesses seeking to lower their property tax liability should specifically look for a property appraiser who specializes in property tax assessment appeals.

Many appraisers will concentrate their business on certain types of properties, for example there are appraisers who travel the country working exclusively on oil refineries or shipyards. Others may specialize in multifamily properties such as apartment complexes, retirement communities or property associations.

You will want to hire a property appraiser who does both significant work in assessment appeals and has experience with a property similar to yours.
