The auto dealership sector has specific property tax management challenges for which we have solutions. As we represent an estimated half a billion dollars in value of dealerships across the country, we are considered experts in the industry. Dealership assets are considered special-use properties and are built for a single purpose which creates valuation issues that provide opportunities for reduction. They also are costly to construct and typically see high-traffic. To accurately value these facilities, our team studies market rates and develops similar sales comparisons. Years of experience in Vehicle Inventory Tax filings has strengthened through the years, we have become a one-stop shop for a dealership’s state and local tax needs.

The Property Tax Cycle
01
FILE
At the beginning of the year, our team will request pertinent information that is crucial for the aggressive filing of renditions and the analysis of real property. Strategy begins with good information.
02
ANALYZE
Once we’ve received all of the facts on your properties allowing us to perform appraisals, we begin the process of reviewing notices of value as they are issued by the local jurisdictions to determine cases of over-valuation.
03
NEGOTIATE
In cases of over-valuation, KE Andrews will reach out to local assessors and appraisers to aggressively negotiate both informally, and formerly at board hearings in cases where an informal agreement can’t be reached.
04
PROCESS
After values are finalized, we provide annual reports for accrual purposes, and we begin to process your tax bills for payment as they come. We integrate with your accounting systems making the process quick and painless.
