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.
Phases Overview
The combination of these phases of service is
guaranteed to maximize: (1) initial tax savings
opportunities through proactive research and
administration; (2) on-going tax savings opportunities
through jurisdictional and market intelligence
and sophisticated value analysis; and (3) tax
reductions from appeals with timely and professional
application of statutory remedies at all formal
and informal levels. At the same time, we minimize
your property tax administration burden with
our time-tested combination of professional
staff and powerful supporting systems, providing
an outsource solution at any level you desire. |
