Reserve Tax Group represents commercial real estate owners across the United States. We handle the entire appeal — filing, evidence, hearings — and only earn a fee when we secure a real reduction. 35% of first-year savings, or nothing at all.
Most appeal firms are either local one-shop operations or large national brands that treat owners as accounts. Reserve Tax Group was built for the gap in the middle — Big Four property tax rigor, sharpened by AI and automation across the parts of the work that should never have been manual. The case gets built faster, more thoroughly, and more defensibly. We work directly with the owners. Nothing routes through a workflow.
If we don't reduce your assessment, you pay nothing — no filing fees, no consultation charges.
Get a real estimate→Most assessment overstatements come from the appraisal district picking the wrong valuation methodology, or from applying the right methodology with stale assumptions. We build the case that fits the asset.
We rebuild your property's NOI using the actual T-12 — not appraisal district assumptions about market rent, vacancy, or expenses. We re-derive the cap rate from recent transactions of comparable assets. The result is a defensible value that often runs 10–20% below the assessment for multifamily, office, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use.
We pull every relevant comp inside the trade area, adjust for size, age, condition, and timing, and bring the supportable evidence to the hearing. This is most powerful in transaction-active markets — Houston, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas — and especially after a 12-month period where market sentiment shifted.
Where income comps are thin or the property is owner-occupied, the cost approach with rigorous depreciation analysis is often the strongest argument. We handle physical depreciation, functional obsolescence (clear height, column spacing, layout), and economic obsolescence in a single integrated model.
We accept select engagements in any U.S. jurisdiction. Active filing presence in the 14 markets shown here, with deep operational depth in the Sunbelt and Northeast.
Property in a market not listed? Tell us about it. We file in all 50 states for engagements that fit our criteria.
Our engagements are concentrated where the assessment math is significant enough to justify a structured appeal. We work directly with property owners, asset managers, and CFOs — not through brokers, and not through property management companies.
Most of our clients are funds, family offices, REITs, and operating companies that own real estate as a core part of their balance sheet. Our minimum is $5M assessed value per property. Below that, the contingency math doesn't work for either side.
A representative sample. Property names redacted at client request.
Class B garden-style multifamily in Doral submarket. Initial assessment used market rents that weren't achievable given concessions and stabilization timeline. Income approach with revised cap rate (6.75%) and adjusted NOI from actual T-12.
22-story Class B in Uptown Dallas with elevated post-COVID vacancy and concession-heavy lease structures. Income approach using actual operating data — vacancy and collection loss adjusted to submarket realities, not appraisal district assumptions.
Single-tenant distribution in northwest Houston. Initial assessment overstated effective age and understated functional obsolescence. Cost approach challenge with depreciation re-analysis, supplemented by trade-area sales of comparable facilities.
Three-property self-storage portfolio in greater Fort Lauderdale. Aggregated income approach with portfolio-level cap rate evidence drawn from recent South Florida self-storage transactions.
"The appeal process is technical, paper-intensive, and stuck on workflows from twenty years ago. We came out of Big Four property tax — and we built RTG to apply AI and automation to the parts of the work that should never have been manual. Faster, more thorough, more defensible. We only get paid when we win."
We earn 35% of the first-year tax savings only if your assessment is reduced. If we don't reduce it, you pay zero. No filing fees, no consultation charges, no hourly billing. We assume the entire risk of the appeal.
From engagement to final reduction typically takes four to nine months, depending on your county's hearing calendar. Most of that time is waiting for the hearing. Active work on our end is concentrated in the first 30 days (filing) and the two weeks before your hearing (evidence prep).
Property address and account number (we can pull the rest from public records), recent operating statements if you have them, and any prior appeal history. We do most of the data gathering ourselves.
35% reflects the actual cost of doing the work properly — comp research, evidence assembly, hearing preparation and attendance — without compromising on quality. Lower-quoting firms typically file thinner cases and accept smaller reductions. Higher-quoting firms typically run a hearing-volume model that under-services individual properties. Our 35% is positioned to attract owners who want the work done right and to compensate the team for doing it.
You can. For owners with one or two properties and time to learn the local appraisal process, self-protesting can make sense. We work primarily with owners who have larger portfolios where the time investment isn't worth it, or where the size of the assessment justifies professional representation.
We file nationwide. Most of our active filings are in the markets shown on the homepage — Texas, Florida, Georgia, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts. We accept select engagements in any U.S. state for properties that fit our criteria.
