Real and Personal Property Assessments
CD of a Teleconference with Q&A
Property tax is a corporate expense you simply cannot avoid. As federal and state government budget crunches are forcing more and more cuts in revenue sharing, pressures mount on cities and counties to raise millage rates.
One aspect of property tax you CAN control is the resourcefulness and aggressiveness with which you appeal assessments to city and county boards and in court.
Listen as our panel of corporate tax professionals and savvy tax advisors -- who have managed many assessment appeals -- share successful strategies for winning reductions in assessments and property tax bills.

John Dyslin is executive director of the property tax consulting group at Ernst & Young, based in Houston.
Jeffrey Dexter is president of Cost Reduction Services Group, a Naugatuck, Conn.-based property tax consulting firm that does business primarily in New England and New York.
David Canary, Owner, Garvey Schubert Barer, Portland, Ore. He's attached to the firm's state and local taxation group and is a member of the American Property Tax Counsel. David has written for professional journals on topics such as industrial obsolescence.
Their guidance with help you with:
- Developing an overall strategy for fighting property tax assessments before administrative and judicial review panels
- Establishing top management support for the appeal
