Why a Local Property Tax Consultant Is Your Best Asset in Florida
When it comes to Florida’s complex and county-specific property tax system, hiring local matters. Big national firms bring resources, but they can’t always match the on-the-ground insight that a Florida-based consultant delivers. We’ve spent decades building relationships with assessors across the state. We are aggressive, fair, balanced and operate with integrity. These relationships can be the difference between a successful appeal and an unsuccessful appeal.
The Case for Going Local
- Relationships with appraisers and Special Magistrates
- First-hand knowledge of how different counties approach various asset classes
- Experience with Florida-specific forms, systems, and quirks
What Sets FirstPointe Advisors Apart
FirstPointe Advisors brings years of expertise and crucial relationships in all property tax related matters. We specialize in the Florida commercial real estate market, where we have filed successful appeals in all 67 counties. We have found success in reducing our clients’ taxes on asset types such as multi-family, industrial, hospitality, land, retail, and more.
Here to Help from Start to Finish
Paying your property tax bill and understanding all the rules, regulations, and deadlines is no simple task. At FirstPointe, we start early: preparing for when your TRIM Notice arrives in the mail. By collecting data for a thorough review ahead of time, we can identify appeal opportunities shortly after the TRIM notice arrives, and many times even before. Working proactively can be an effective strategy for mitigating your property tax burden and knowing where and when this is possible is crucial. Throughout the entire appeal process, we make sure to keep our clients informed. Even if no appeal is needed, FirstPointe is there to assist in the difficult process of correctly paying your tax bill.
More Than Just a Vendor
We serve as a strategic partner—forecasting taxes, planning budgets, and guiding acquisitions. We don’t just file appeals. We protect your bottom line. When it’s time to grow your portfolio by acquiring new properties, we can forecast the projected property tax expense your asset is likely to incur throughout the development and post-acquisition stages. This helps to avoid underbudgeting, by having a forecast that shows the most likely scenarios for your property taxes.
In a state this complex, who you hire makes a difference. Hire FirstPointe.
