Property Tax Consulting

As a CPA and the owner of 11 self-storage facilities, I understand firsthand how property taxes can significantly impact your bottom line. That's why I offer specialized Property Tax Consulting services tailored specifically for self-storage owners.

Whether you're a single-site operator or manage a portfolio of properties, there's a strong chance you're overpaying on your property taxes. County assessors often lack the industry-specific knowledge needed to fairly evaluate self-storage assets—leading to inflated assessments and higher tax bills. My goal is to fix that.

• Proven Results: I’ve successfully reduced property tax assessments on my own facilities and for numerous clients—saving thousands annually. I perform this on a contingency fee basis so if I am not able to get your taxes reduced there is no fee.  
   
• Industry Expertise: With deep experience as both a CPA and a facility owner, I know how to present data that assessors recognize and respond to.
   
• Tailored Strategy: I analyze your assessment, market data, income, and expenses to build a case for a reduction—and manage the process from start to finish.
   
• No-Nonsense Approach: I handle your appeal process, including negotiations with the county and formal protests if necessary, so you can stay focused on running your business.
   

1. Initial Review – I’ll review your current assessment and property financials to determine if there's a strong case for an appeal.
    
2. Analysis & Valuation – I conduct a detailed valuation based on industry-standard methods, income approach, and comparable sales.
    
3. Appeal Filing & Negotiation – If warranted, I file the protest, represent you through the process, and advocate for a fair outcome.
    
4. Results & Reporting – You'll receive clear documentation of any changes, savings achieved, and ongoing advice for future valuations.
    

Let’s face it—property taxes are one of the largest line items on your P&L. A successful reduction not only improves cash flow but also boosts your facility’s value. Don’t leave money on the table.
