LOVETT PROPERTY TAX ADVISORS

Our Approach

Property tax appeals should not have to end at the administrative level. Lovett PTA certainly begins there, but we can prosecute your appeal into the legal system including all the way through trial if necessary. Some of our biggest successes come long after those administrative hearings have ended. Not coincidentally, taxing authorities are willing to work with us, in part, to avoid those prolonged legal battles. We do our best to foster those relationships.

Client Service

Lovett PTA uniquely handles your appeal from first day assessment evaluation through jury trial.  We monitor our clients’ properties watching for any change in assessed value.  If such change is not justified, we will fight for a proper value.  Our clients pay their appropriate property taxes and not a dollar more.

Lovett PTA also uses the law to lock in assessed values for as long as legally permissible.  Such locks help clients hedge against rising real estate values and provide certainty in budgeting.  When property values decrease, Lovett PTA can then unlock those values, lowering property taxes with decreased values.

Areas of Focus

Lovett PTA advises all manner of commercial, manufacturing, warehousing, and agricultural clients.  Recently, a significant portion of our advice and work has focused around property tax appeals for multifamily housing including market rent, Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”), USDA and HUD funding.  

Lovett PTA also regularly and consistently finds additional success in appealing the values of warehouses, car dealerships, commercial shopping centers, timber, farmland, fast food restaurants, convenience stores, marinas, and other commercial property throughout the southeastern United States.  

In total, founder Bates Lovett has appealed ad valorem taxes for properties in excess of $850 million.
