Overview
Property tax is a tax paid on property owned by an individual or other legal entity, such as a corporation. Property can be both real property (e.g. land, buildings, etc.) and personal property (machinery, equipment, etc.).
Many property owners unknowingly overpay on their property tax bill due to various factors, including economic fluctuations, over-reporting of asset quantity and value, misclassification of intangible or non-taxable assets, and inaccurate assessments of asset depreciation. McGuire Sponsel’s property tax specialists assist in identifying these discrepancies and develop strategic appeals to maximize tax reductions. Our comprehensive Property Tax Services provide substantial, long-term savings for businesses and property owners.
