Do you own Commercial property in North Carolina?
Don’t overpay property taxes on your commercial real estate.
12 counties in North Carolina are revaluing properties. Is your property affected?
Shipman Wright & Moore’s tax practice features attorneys with not just legal, but solid operational level experience as commercial property and asset managers, and business owners.
Our unique skill sets allows us to articulate solid and defensible arguments based on a deep understanding of what operational functions, deferred maintenance, vendor agreements, leasing, occupancy status, market, and environmental issues (asbestos, mold, contamination), etc. impact the determination of “fair market value”.
Often, these vitally important nuances are missed, not understood, or electively ignored by tax assessors and county appraisers resulting in erroneous and heavy-handed tax assessments.
