Cantrell McCulloch, Inc. (CMI) is a  professional corporation dedicated to  providing superior ad valorem tax consulting services while working in partnership with our clients to find the most favorable solutions for their property tax needs.

CMI leaves no stone unturned when  investigating potential tax savings  opportunities. We review all available information, identify key issues, conduct on-site property inspections, ask questions, and raise red flags where appropriate.

By assessing both the present and projected future income-producing capacity of your property, analyzing comparable data, and reviewing comparable area properties to formulate a fair and equitable valuation study, CMI will develop a thorough evidentiary case to aggressively negotiate a fair and equitable assessment on your behalf.

Real Estate Property Tax Consulting

CMI assumes responsibility for the entire appeal process, including strategic planning, research, case preparation, expert witness testimony, litigation support and all  communication with assessors, appeal boards and courts.

We file all assessment appeals, prepare the required documentation, negotiate value settlements, and – as necessary – attend formal board hearings to appeal excessive or unequal property valuations.

Business Personal Property Tax Consulting

We specialize in the reduction of unique personal property assets and maintain a deep database of comparable assets to prove the “fair market value”. We look at how your inventory is booked, the quality of your last appraisal, what property you own that doesn’t move quickly but is necessary to use as spares, check to see if there are any branding issues, and physically walk through the property to ensure that we are not missing any avenue for tax savings. These are some of the detailed steps we take
to effectuate your refund.

Our consulting and valuation experience  covers a wide variety of unique assets. We  gather information from you, apply the methodology that accurately reflects your tax liability and present your evidence to the taxing authorities in a clear, concise and non­ confrontational manner.
