NEWS FLASH
2008 Forecast by Harris County Appraisal District...
More...
On March 25, 2008, during the 2008 Annual Meeting at the Harris County
Appraisal District (HCAD), the county revealed that property
tax values will be increased an average of 25% on approximately 68%
of all commercial accounts! In light of this new information,
it is essential that commercial property owners appeal their property
tax valuations in 2008.
• The Real Property Protest Deadline in Texas is May 31st!
Don’t lose your chance to save money, call or mail us for a free evaluation
on your property value!
• Cost Segregation is one of the most valuable tax-deferral strategies. It allows taxpayers to write off a greater percentage of their commercial improvements over a shorter period of time.
More...
• The deadline for filing business personal property renditions
is April 15, 2008. All business owners must file
or they will face penalties.
More...
The Texas Property Tax Code states that there will be penalties imposed from
10 to 50% of the taxes that are owed and possible lawsuits filed for any
businesses that do not file the required annual rendition by the deadline of
April 15, 2008.
Have you been served a penalty tax statement from the appraisal
district for not filing a Business Personal Property Rendition?
If you have received a penalty statement from the appraisal district, it is
due to the new law in Texas stating that all business personal property accounts
must have renditions filed annually. We may be able to get the penalty waived and
file the 2007 and 2008 renditions for you, just give us a call!
• Property Value Notices will be coming out in the end of April. Your
property may be over assessed, so fill out our free evaluation form and we will
see what we can do for you!
