Real Property Tax Consulting

Assessors often rely on statistical models, general data and mass appraisal to establish real property tax assessments. INTAX presents specific property and financial information. This enables us to achieve significant tax savings resulting from assessment errors and decreased property values. We have successfully represented our clients on the following issues:


  • Revalued or reassessed properties
  • Assessments not challenged in recent years
  • Properties with physical depreciation or functional, technological or economic obsolescence
  • New construction or acquisitions
  • Properties with high vacancy rates or below market rents

  • Older properties or facilities in poor physical condition
  • Assessments that rely too heavily on or ignore one of the approaches to value
  • Misclassification of real and personal property
  • Sale/leaseback transactions
  • Relocations, expansions and closings
