RE Methodology
When reviewing your healthcare real estate for property tax reduction; PVS, unlike other property tax consultants, reviews the property from a healthcare perspective. PVS not only evaluates the property using the traditional methodologies/approaches, income, market and cost, we also consider how these approaches are affected by specific healthcare forces such as the Balanced Budget Act, referral contracts and payor mix, not to mention the true highest and best use of the property. Only a specialist in healthcare, like PVS, can measure the effects of such outside forces.

There are several components to consider when valuing complex properties: real property, personal property and business value. Assessor’s typically value retail property through the use of a computer-aided mass appraisal/system, (CAMA). This approach is effective for small residential properties; however, it leaves room for significant error when valuing complex commercial properties. A majority of taxing jurisdictions throughout the country are afforded a presumption of correctness. It is the taxpayers burden to prove that the assessment exceeds fair market value. Property Valuation Services has been successful in assisting taxpayers in overcoming this presumption of correctness. Due to this mass appraisal approach and the sheer size and complexity of commercial property, all assessments should be reviewed each year.
