We take a creative approach to reducing the total tax liability rather than fighting over the assessed value. If a property is greater than ten acres in size, we work with farmers to establish a crop, ultimately changing the land designation to agricultural. This will drop the tax rate to as low as 1% of the current assessed value; whereas typical tax rates are close to 3.5% of the current assessed value. Dropping the tax rate by over 2% can save a client hundreds of thousands of dollars. Last year we saved clients over $1,000,000 by implementing this unique strategy. Having a lower tax burden will also make the property more marketable to third parties.
We have been successful 100% of the time and have recently completed over 20 tax reduction assignments locally. Our tax reduction clients include: United Properties, Children’s Hospital, Bremer Bank, Interstate Companies, Frattalone Companies, Dale Properties, Imation and many others.
