PROPERTY TAX PROTEST SERVICES

Commercial Property Tax Services

Property Taxes – your largest single expense item! Property taxes are typically the largest single expense factor in every property owner’s bottom line. Commercial property tax rates in North Texas are high – and so are their effect on your building’s profitability. Most building owners know that they can protest their valuation, but effectively doing so is not an easy process without a broad access to data, evidence tools and a deep knowledge of appraisal and valuation methods.

NorthBridge Property Tax Consultants will help you free up valuable time and resources to focus on doing what actually makes you money. We analyze and represent a broad range of properties each year and we’ve found that the majority of them are paying taxes based on valuations that are objectively too high. The breadth of properties that we value in Denton County each year gives us the ability to model your property’s correct value with a high degree of specificity.
