According to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, experts estimate that 30% to 60% of taxable property in the United States may be over-assessed, meaning assessed values exceed true market value. Despite this, fewer than 5% of property owners formally appeal their assessment.
For many commercial properties, real estate taxes are one of the largest components of common area maintenance (CAM) expenses — often representing 30% to 50% or more of total CAM. As a result, over-assessments don’t just affect tax bills; they directly impact operating costs, tenant recoveries, and asset performance.
The gap isn’t awareness — it’s complexity. Commercial property tax appeals require market data, valuation judgment, and time most owners simply don’t have. Over-assessments often go unchallenged year after year.
Appealing Assets exists to close that gap — providing disciplined, data-driven appeals only where there is a clear path to savings.
