Paramount represents private investors, family offices, institutional funds, developers, and operating companies, from a single asset to a portfolio held across multiple jurisdictions.

Our Scope

Where We Work and Who We Represent

We represent owners across six states and twelve asset types, from private investors holding a single property to institutional funds managing national portfolios.

Representation Across Six States

Filing windows vary by state and by county, and a missed deadline closes the appeal for the year. Use these calendars to track assessment notice dates, appeal deadlines, and payment due dates across the jurisdictions where you hold property.

Understanding Your Assessment

An Assessment Is Not the Same as Market Value

County assessors value hundreds of thousands of parcels each year. To do so at that volume, they apply standardized models across broad categories of property rather than examining the circumstances of each individual asset.

Those models are appropriate for the task they are designed to perform. They are not built to capture a vacancy event, a change in submarket rents, deferred capital needs, an unusual floor plate, a specialized use, or an income stream that has moved since the last valuation date.

The result is an assessed value that may not fully reflect what the property is actually worth. When that gap exists, it compounds year over year through the entire hold period.

What Assessors Typically Rely On

  1. Mass appraisal models applied across property categories
  2. Broad comparable sales rather than asset-specific comparables
  3. Standardized depreciation schedules
  4. Incomplete or outdated property records
  5. Historical assumptions carried forward from prior years
  6. Construction cost data in place of market value
  7. Income assumptions that may not match actual performance

Paramount identifies whether a defensible basis for reduction exists and handles the appeal from initial analysis through hearing and resolution.

How We Work

From Initial Review to Final Resolution, We Handle Every Step

Every engagement begins with a diagnostic. We review the assessment, determine whether a defensible basis for reduction exists, and tell you what we find before anything is filed.

  1. 01

    Review

    We analyze the assessment against market conditions, income performance, comparable sales, and appeal eligibility in the applicable jurisdiction.

  2. 02

    File

    We prepare and submit the appeal and all required documentation before the applicable county deadline.

  3. 03

    Represent

    We negotiate directly with the assessor and represent the owner at a formal hearing when the matter is not resolved informally.

  4. 04

    Resolve

    We secure the approved reduction and explain the resulting refund, credit, or adjusted tax liability.

Paramount works on a contingency basis. Fees are calculated as a percentage of the tax savings or refund secured. If an appeal does not produce a reduction, there is no fee.

What Happens After You Submit

  1. A member of our team contacts you to discuss the property or portfolio.
  2. Our appraisers analyze the assessed value against market evidence, comparable sales, and income performance.
  3. You receive our findings, including whether a basis for reduction exists.
  4. If you move forward, we handle the filing, the evidence package, and representation through hearing.

No obligation. No upfront fees. No cost unless a reduction is secured.
