Real Property

OVERVIEW

Property taxation is the only form of taxation that is based upon an opinion. That is, an opinion of value. The State Board of Equalization approves three approaches to value in assessing real property, namely the comparable sales approach, the income approach and the cost approach. A successful appeal of property taxes starts with knowing how to use the evidence or facts with the approved tools (the appraisal process) and communicating an opinion of value to the Assessor or the Assessment Appeals Board.

Opinions of value are just that, opinions. At ACS we are seasoned in presenting our cases in the most favorable light to achieve the lowest possible value which directly relates to lower property taxes. If your assessment is higher than market value, you most likely have a good appeal given professional representation.

ACS is a full service property tax consulting firm that aggressively represents our clients before the County Assessor’s Office and Assessment Appeals Board.
