Tax Appeal
Property taxes are often the single largest operating expense to property owners. If a property is over-assessed, it can significantly drag on the property’s NOI. The process of mass appraisal, which assessors use to estimate assessment values, serves municipalities well; however they may not be relied upon for accurate market values at the property level. The inefficiencies of mass appraisal cost commercial property owners billions of dollars nationwide each year. Breakwater will challenge an unfair assessment and will litigiously pursue the challenge through the court system if necessary.
