🎯 Case Study: Maximizing & Maintaining Tax Benefits for a Speculative Development When a new, out-of-state owner acquired a spec building with an existing real property tax abatement, they unknowingly lost nearly $900,000 in tax benefits in the first year alone. That's where we stepped in. Our team: ✅ Identified the issue & engaged ownership ✅ Secured a waiver of non-compliance to reinstate the abatement ✅ Uncovered & corrected an assessment miscalculation to maximize savings Without our expertise, these tax benefits would have been permanently lost. Our deep knowledge of abatements, appeals, and TIF studies ensures clients don't leave money on the table. A huge shoutout to Chad Miller, CMI for leading the charge and leveraging his property assessment expertise to solve complex tax challenges that others simply can't.
