Tax Assessors evaluate properties under the following circumstances:  

• Annual Maintenance Assessments.
• Periodic Re-Assessments.
• New Construction – When Property Is Put into Service.
• Completion of Major Renovations – When a Certificate of Occupancy is Issued.

Your tax assessment and tax bill has the potential to increase during any of these cycles of assessment.  Real Estate Tax Master can help you MAXIMIZE your TAX SAVINGS by helping you evaluate your property during two very critical cycles: Periodic Re-Assessment and Maintenance. 

Evaluating your assessment during a Periodic Re-Assessment has the potential of producing the greatest tax savings, especially if your property is located in a County that reassesses properties in cycles consisting of multiple years.  For example if your property is located within Cook County, Illinois, the Township Assessor will assign a value to your property every three years. While this presents the potential for your property tax assessment to remain high for three consecutive years and fear that the resulting tax bill will be overly burdensome for three years, it actually presents an opportunity to stabilize your taxes for a period of three years. By performing an evaluation of your tax assessment at a period of re-assessment, you will determine whether your property is over-assessed.   In the event Real Estate Tax Master Evaluation gives you a thumbs up and you authorize a panel attorney to prosecute your appeal, your successful appeal may achieve reducing and stablizing your assessment  for up to three years.  

Real Estate Tax Master keeps up with county deadlines for re-assessments and helps you take advantage of any potential savings at these critical phases of government assessment.

As an investment property owner, you are fully aware that Net Operating Income (NOI) and Return on Investment (ROI) largely depend on the income generation of an income producing property. However, increases in property taxes can easily dwindle profits and detract from the capitalization value of property you once perceived to be your golden investment.  When your property is performing poorly and suffers from vacancies, a vacancy for even just one  month, you are economically affected. If you are having a bad year and come out of your own pocket to cover your property taxes or must defer obligations and ventures due to tax debt service, it is definitely time to evaluate your property tax assessment you might discover that the investment value of your property has declined due to economic factors within your property. In many jurisdictions this condition may entitle you to at least one year of tax relief. This doesn’t mean that your tax bill for the current year will be zero, it just means that an opportunity exists to protest your property’s assessment. A successful appeal would result in a tax bill adjusted to reflect an amount consistent with the capitalization value of your property. As a mixed use, apartment building or commercial property owner, it is good practice as an investor to order every year an RETM Evaluation of your property assessments even if they are not going up in order to maximize tax savings.  Real Estate Tax Master is designed to help you maximize your tax assessment reduction and in some cases put money back in your pocket.
