Comprehensive Review

How much time will be required from me?

After we are contracted we will handle everything. Your only involvement will be to fill out the CTR Agreement and provide the requested "Wish List" documents, and then CTR will handle the rest, including valuation, processing the application and your representation at the Board of Review and through the Michigan Tax Tribunal.

Will you need to enter or inspect my property?

Yes. We must have an access to the property to insure success. The municipalities have toughened up and at the Tax Tribunal you cannot win without a complete True Cash Value analysis.

What if I want to list or sell my property?

A reduction in your taxes will most likely help the sale and also the sale price. The buyers of today consider the taxes on a property to compute the monthly payment to improved cash flow, the lower the taxes the lower their overhead will be.

How does CTR determine value?

We do not determine value, the market conditions in your area does. We collect the data of comparable sales, gather income statements and market data for the income approach, and make the corrections for assessor errors that do not appear on the Assessor's field sheets. These errors often are in the thousands of dollars and unless they are documented the Assessor will not consider them.
