Key Property Tax Stats

Recent retail market net absorption showed continued demand for physical retail space, with positive retail absorption in 2024–2025 despite broader CRE challenges.
Smaller store formats and neighborhood/community retail centers have seen increased demand as retail strategies evolve, influencing how assessors should consider use and value.
E‑commerce remains a significant factor in retail dynamics, with projections that online sales could account for about 23% of total retail sales by 2027, affecting traditional retail property demand and valuations.
Property tax appeals across commercial property types—including retail—have success rates of about 40% to 60% for lowering assessed values, with commercial appeals in some states exceeding 70% reductions when evidence supports market value corrections.
Successful commercial appeals often yield 10% to 15% reductions in assessed value, translating into meaningful tax savings for property owners when assessments are aligned with current market fundamentals.

Biggest Pain Points

Retail Is Struggling — But Assessments Aren't Adjusting

E-commerce crushed retail. Vacancy rates hit 10–15% in many markets.

Vacant Spaces Destroy NOI

One vacant anchor tenant in your strip mall tanks your property's value. But appraisers assume you'll re-lease at market rent immediately. Reality: Retail spaces sit vacant 12–24 months.

Retail Sales Data Ignored

Your retail property's value depends on foot traffic and sales per square foot. Declining retail sales in your area = lower property value. Appraisers don't adjust for this.

How it Works

1. Free Retail Property Analysis

Provide property address and size. We analyze retail vacancy rates, comparable sales, and actual vs. projected NOI.

2. We Document Retail Market Decline

We gather retail market reports (CoStar, CBRE), document vacancy in your submarket, and analyze declining foot traffic and sales trends.

3. We File Income-Based Protests

We use actual rent rolls (including vacancies), market vacancy rates (not appraisal district assumptions), and rising cap rates to prove your property's lower value.

4. You Save Significantly

Average savings: $12,000/year for small retail. $30K–$60K+ for larger shopping centers. You pay 25% only if we win.

Avoid these Common Mistakes

Not documenting vacancy — Provide rent rolls showing actual vacancy, not theoretical.
Ignoring co-tenancy clauses — When anchor leaves, other tenants pay reduced rent. Document this.
Not adjusting for declining foot traffic — If sales per SF declined, so did property value.
Not protesting annually — Retail markets are declining. Protest every year.
