After working with the County of Kern on what used to be a National Bookstore, we were able to secure a major reduction for our client for both the 2010 and 2011 years. This after not even having filed for he 2010 year! The property was assessed at over $7,000,000 for 2010 and was vacant for much of the year. While it may seem like a slam dunk to reduce a property that is vacant, you can’t lose sight of the market around it. After dealing with the appraiser for a couple months, our property tax agents were able to prove the property was worth $4,315,000 saving our client $30,000 for 2010 and another $30,000 for 2011!
