Hilco Global has issued a timely and relevant perspective on the trend toward increased corporate engagement of property tax advisory partners to limit both overhead and risk, and is today noting an added development specific to small businesses and recent tax code revisions.

The Compelling Case for Property Tax Advisory Services authored by Frank Lima, Managing Director- Hilco Property Tax Advisory, looks at how the complexities of managing the multitude of real estate and personal property tax requirements within a corporate tax environment are creating an onerous and risky burden on the internal departments and personnel charged with those roles.  

Lima and his team are also observing a concerning trend toward establishment of unfavorable assessment burdens for owners of commercial and industrial real estate in some U.S. markets.  

“If what we’re seeing with the upcoming November 2020 Proposition 13 ‘Split Roll’ vote in California and new financial reporting rules already being applied in Cook County, Illinois are indicative what’s likely to come from states and counties across the country, commercial owners had better get ready,” says Lima. “The handwriting is on the wall.  Proactively managing a timely appeals strategy is likely to be more essential than ever for these holders of real estate moving forward.”
