Overview of Services

PARADIGM TAX GROUP offers a complete suite of property tax management services for all types or property. We have designed successful service programs for companies over the entire spectrum of business, from local start-up operations to Fortune 100 companies with multi-million dollar property tax liabilities. Our programs are built on expert services in six phases:

Service Design (Phase I)
We perform a detailed evaluation of your company's existing processes. Where current property tax management procedures are efficient, Paradigm Tax Group’s system will be tailored to support them. Paradigm Tax Group will also recommend more efficient procedures as appropriate

Data Collection, Augmentation and Maintenance (Phase 2)
Our services include data collection and conversion from your records and from jurisdiction records to develop a current basis and assessment history for each property. We provide additional workforce as necessary to enter data that is not available electronically and we constantly update all the data with any new information on the properties

Pro-active Property Valuation Analysis (Phase 3)
We review every managed property every year for potential tax savings. Our work product leads the industry in detail and accessibility and our analysis is thoroughly documented. We also prepare property exemption and exclusion filings and file for abatements or refunds on prior-year over-assessments whenever there is an opportunity

Appeal Management (Phase 4)
Paradigm Tax Group stays in control of the appeal process with automated case planning and appeal events calendars. We maximize negotiation opportunities with proactive research and clear work products for valuation discussions. We prepare superior case documentation, file all necessary petitions, and represent our clients in all negotiations and before all review boards. If litigation is necessary, Paradigm Tax Group will work with the selected legal counsel to provide valuation expertise and expert witness testimony

Tax Invoice Administration (Phase 5)
We provide timely tax bill review and approval via paper or online approval processes linked to your controls and payables systems. Paradigm Tax Group can also provide direct payment services with electronic reconciliation, check printing and distribution. Your company will never pay another late payment penalty on our watch.

Consulting Services (Phase 6)
Paradigm Tax Group professionals consult with you regarding tax planning and strategy, property tax process and systems design, decision support, and other general property tax matters. Our resources and tools are flexible, and we provide our clients with their own menu of custom-designed reports and services to fit their needs. We meet for a complete review of the status of every property in your portfolio during the tax year to identify successes and/or problems, select targets for action, and discuss beneficial adjustments in tax compliance procedures with you.
