Due to desperate budget requirements, it is likely the Appraisal District will not slash the values parallel to the market. FYI: If there’s no value change, there will be no notice to you and we highly suggest that each owner watch the web site in May or give us a call to ensure you are on our list!

Chances are you property is worth less than in 2009 and some items that affect all values in commercial sector are follows:

- Cap rate has risen by 2-3 points
- Rental rates are reduced to capture and retain tenants
- Occupancies are down, while expenses are up
- New financing to facilitate sales is nil

We are gearing up for a fight for 2010 tax protests. This is a list of things you can start compiling to assist in the process:

- Rent Rolls
- Photos (we will take if needed)
- Changes in leases (renegotiation downward)
- Vacancies

It’s time to get started! We must be alert- no change means no notice. In this declining market “no change” means you’re over valued!
