Our attorneys have the experience and the resources to effectively litigate real estate values and inventory values. We assist property owners and their tax consultants at both the administrative and judicial level of appeals in seeking to assure the fair and equitable allocation and assessment of the property tax burden. Such representation involves not only attempting to secure an accurate and equitable valuation and taxation of the owner's property, but also assistance and advice in navigating the many complexities and uncertainties of the Texas Property Tax Code and the administrative process of protest. We regularly represent some of the largest corporations and major property owners across Texas and the United States, including owners of office buildings, apartment developments, shopping malls and centers, undeveloped land, major industrial and manufacturing facilities, oil and gas companies, and business personal property of all types (inventory, equipment and machinery, furniture and fixtures, transportation, etc.). Our lawyers also assist clients in property tax planning involving future and anticipated development, including negotiation and review of tax abatement agreements with governmental entities and development of property restrictions designed to minimize or postpone the impact and burden of property tax. In cases of government or utility land condemnations for roads, rights of way, pipe lines, utility wires, or other purposes, our lawyers represent individuals and landowners in value litigation and eminent domain proceedings. Our clients benefit from in-house resources for specific assistance with commercial real estate law and oil and gas / energy law matters. Our property tax representation extends throughout the State of Texas. If you have a question about local property taxation, we suggest that you check out the various sources provided on this site. If you still need information, you may send us an email at propertytax@gpd.com. However, we will only be able to respond to general tax inquiries. For specific concerns relating to the taxation of your property, you should consult with an attorney or tax consultant of your choice. |
