Real Property
When it comes to real property, Uzelac & Associates will conduct a four-part service on your behalf.
Inspect
A professional from Uzelac will inspect your property from every angle, including day-to-day operations and the condition of the property itself, as well as conducting a detailed analysis.
Compare
Our associate will compare your property to similar properties in its category, enabling us to effectively assess your property in its specific marketplace.
- Compare your property to the assessor’s records, identifying differences in physical characteristics
- Review your business uses of the property to identify changes since the last general reassessment
- Value your property by alternative methods, where appropriate
Assess
We will analyze your tax assessment to determine if it is in fact excess, and if you are eligible for real property tax savings.
- Review previous assessments to identify errors
- Compare your assessments to those of other companies, identifying local inconsistencies
- Develop additional evidence that may be relevant to the assessment
- Prepare a complete, up-to-date assessment of your property
- Propose alternative values using data from physical inspection, reviews of financial records, and reviews of appropriate markets
Negotiate
The final step in our four-part service is to negotiate an appeal when necessary. The professionals at Uzelac have the experience, knowledge, and proven performance to negotiate fair tax reductions successfully.
- File appropriate appeals
- Conduct informal conferences on appeal issues with township assessors
- Represent you at formal hearings of the county property tax assessment, board of appeals and Indiana Board of Tax Review as necessary
- Monitor your properties and the assessment system to identify additional opportunities that might arise as a result of changes
