District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia Property Tax Expertise
Local Property Tax Expertise with a National Footprint
Commercial property owners in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) took a significant hit to their bottom lines during the pandemic.
The economic recovery is well underway, but uncertainty persists around market-supported real and personal property valuations. Additionally, assessors continue to struggle with key issues surrounding select asset types, such as proper treatment of vacancy/inutility for office and multifamily, fluctuation in demand for and spikes in costs associated with healthcare and hospitality, separation of real property income from gross income associated with the business operations thereon, and many more market, industry, and property-specific value drivers.
The pandemic continues to have a negative impact on local market conditions, including supply and demand. To remain competitive and improve operating results, owners need expertise to assist with both the tax process and minimization.
The local market experts at Ryan are uniquely positioned to help organizations understand the complexities of these multiple tax jurisdictions. We are the only provider with a physical presence across the DMV and comprehensive national and internal reach. We are not afraid to fight all the way to the end of the appeal process, as our recent Virginia Supreme Court win demonstrates.
