In an economy marked by declining real estate values and impending bankruptcies; city, county and state governments are attempting to collect unfairly inflated property taxes to raise revenue for government programs and municipalities. Individuals and Companies all over the country realize the importance of minimizing their tax bills. As a business owner, or private landowner, it is important that you use every means available in fighting unfair property taxes.

Property taxes cover the taxes assessed on a range of items. These items include the land or real estate, the buildings on the property or non movable improvements on the land and personal items or moveable items present. Since taxes on these items depend on the value of the items assessed and these taxes are collected by more than one entity, it is important that the value of the property is appropriately assessed. It is equally important that the assessment and the local and state tax laws are verified by experts in the field.

Reaves Consultants has built a strategic plan to help companies and individuals achieve and sustain the lowest property taxation possible. Working with Individuals and Businesses of all sizes, Reaves Consultants is experienced in all levels of taxation resolution. Since the best defense is a good offense, Reaves Consultants begins with a detailed analysis of your current property tax exposure. You may have received a letter from us identifying your property tax exposure as being higher than surrounding property owners. We then investigate and suggest a proposal to reduce your property tax cost. In this manner you may be able to avoid fighting unfair property taxes, as they may never have been properly assessed in the first place.

As part of a good offense it is important to have accurate data. Reaves Consultants will make sure your company or individual tax data is gathered and maintained using appropriate accounting methods.
