Saving $374,800 in Property Tax for Behavioral Health Facility
Executive Summary
PVS corrected the double taxation of a behavioral health facility in North Carolina, where the building straddles a county line.
Challenges
A behavioral health facility in North Carolina sat on the county line, occupying land in both Durham and Wake County, who both collect taxes annually. In the 2024 revaluation, Wake County erroneously assessed the entire structure, rather than only the portion of the building physically residing in Wake County, leading to duplicate taxation.
How PVS Helped
PVS represented the taxpayer in an appeal before each county and corrected the tax roll to assess only the proportionate building area within each county.
Results
Over the four-year assessment cycle, PVS’s correction saved the property owner $374,800 in tax dollars.
