Other areas of litigation support and expert witness include partnership disputes, estate appraisals and preparation, eminent domain, as well as bankruptcy analyses and appraisals.
Tax Appeal Advisory
Because of recent recessionary pressures on real property values, many counties and governments have struggled with adequate and appropriate real property valuations. T.B. Harris, Jr. & Associates, Inc. has provided consultation services and appraisal services to not only local government entities related to ad valorem tax issues, but also have represented and provided services to a number of independent property owners from corporations to financial institutions and individuals. The combination of required government revaluations for ad valorem tax purposes, coupled with significant deterioration in real property values, has led to a disconnect between some governmental authorities and individual tax payers. The importance of professionally prepared and supported values in today’s market is critical for successful and fair real property valuations.
