How Real Estate Tax Attorneys Can Help Commercial Property Owners

Law Blog

If you own or are going to buy commercial property, there are going to be tax matters that come up. Some of them can be pretty involved and you might just want to hire a real estate tax attorney to sort them out. These attorneys can help you do a couple of things in particular.

Protest Overcharged Property Taxes

Sometimes the property tax amount on your commercial building isn't accurate. It may be above what you should be paying. Dealing with these extra costs can really hurt your business so if you believe you're in this situation, hire a real estate tax attorney.

They can look at your rates and see if they're justified based on where your commercial building is located and the type of property you own. If the rates are deemed more expensive than what's a justifiable amount, the attorney can help you fight these extra charges in a legal way.

Send Taxes to the Right Party

Your commercial property taxes may be completely just, but you still need to be careful about who you send these taxes to. Paying the wrong party can cause a bunch of penalties. If you want to make sure you avoid them with ease, you can hire a real estate tax attorney that has experience with commercial property taxes.

They'll verify the amount you're paying and ensure it ends up at the right place. They'll provide you with confirmation too so that you can worry less about this entire tax-paying process for owning commercial property.

Schedule Hearings

A situation with your commercial property taxes may come up that requires a hearing with an appraisal board. You may not know how to schedule these hearings, but a real estate tax attorney does. They can make your hearings official and even help you get ready for them.

It may be to discuss how much you're being charged or fighting charges that you know for certain aren't right. With a real estate tax attorney's services, you'll be more prepared for these proceedings so that your outcomes turn out being a lot better than if you didn't have professional legal assistance.

Property taxes can throw a lot of confusion into the mix for commercial building owners. If you ever have a situation that you're not sure how to handle or respond to, work with a real estate tax attorney so that you're able to do the right things in a stress-free way.

File Chapter 7, and Keep Your Home

Many people assume that when they file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, they will have to give up their homes and other property. This is not necessarily the case. I am a bankruptcy attorney, and I have helped many clients file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy without giving up homes, cars, and other property. When you file for bankruptcy, the property you are allowed to keep depends on your individual circumstances and the state where you live. Most states allow exemption for property you are currently paying for. This blog will guide you through that information and help you determine if filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the right choice for you.
