Chardon, OH. (June 28, 2008) – Hemlock Springs Golf Course in Geneva, OH chose Golf Tax, LLC (GT) to determine whether their property’s valuation and subsequent real estate taxes were accurate and fair. (GT) filed a Complaint Against Real Value with, and provided indisputable evidence to, the Ashtabula County Auditor, prompting the county to offer the taxpayer a 36% reduction in real property value…… this offer was made PRIOR to the Board of Revision Hearing.
(GT), an Ohio company, has partnered with a nationally recognized leader in golf course valuation, Tax Profile Services, Inc, based in Denver, Co. (TPS). GT and TPS are providing golf courses nationwide a dynamic and affordable service designed to ensure golf course owners are paying their “fair” share of property taxes, and not a penny more.
GT and TPS accomplish this by using comprehensive, time tested, and appeal tested methodologies, resulting in a much more accurate assessment of golf course realty than has ever been possible. GT and TPS offer a “proactive” approach, providing local taxing authorities an alternative to the “replacement cost” method for valuing golf property. They introduce a valuation method that identifies and segregates all the various components that make up the realty and non-realty of a golf course. This more often than not represents a significant tax savings for the client. The average reduction GT obtains for their clients is 35-40%.
IT’S SIMPLY A FACT. OVER 90% OF ALL U.S. GOLF COURSES ARE VALUED INCORRECTLY AND THEIR OWNERS ARE PAYING TOO MUCH PROPERTY TAX….MOST OFTEN A LOT TOO MUCH!
Some owners try to get relief on their own or hire unqualified “experts”. Usually, this results in a failure to gain relief, or they are granted short lived, “token” relief to get them to go away. It’s not enough to show a decline in rounds and revenues, pleading “not fair” in front of the board, or rely on failing opinions like “Fun Time Inc.”……… You MUST meet the burden of proof and build a prima facie case for a lower value (That’s the tricky part).
What sets GT apart is that they are represented by one of only a very small handful of nationally recognized experts in the field of special use property appraisal, specializing in golf course tax issues. Most attorneys, accountants, and appraisers, are very good at what they do………….. But, special use property appraisal for ad valorem property tax considerations is just NOT “what” they do on a regular basis.
