For the 2024 annual assessment of a surgery center, the county assessor added over $5M to the value of a business personal property account. PVS appealed the account’s value and settled the appeal informally for a property tax savings of $94,000.
The appeal process can be complex, no matter how simple the case may appear. Assessor’s
offices are often short-staffed with limited resources, and appraisers may request hard-to-get information to settle an appeal, especially when the requested value is materially lower than the value proposed by the assessor’s office.
PVS settled the appeal at an informal conference with the assessor’s office and got the additional $5M in inventory and supplies removed, resulting in a $94,000 property tax savings for the surgery center.
