In today’s hyper-competitive hospitality market, hotel owners need to look for every opportunity to save on expenses while maintaining their five-star service. Skoloff & Wolfe, P.C. specializes in data-driven property tax appeal representation and analysis for hotels and large commercial property owners nationwide.
Understanding the intricacies of hotel valuation
When it comes to calculating property taxes on hotels, few taxing jurisdictions fairly distinguish the taxable value of the real estate from FF&E and good will. Consequently, hotels can be paying significantly more in property taxes than what is fair.
Skoloff & Wolfe, P.C. have a long track record helping hoteliers, and other organizations and institutions reduce their property tax liabilities, save money, and increase the value of their holdings. We understand how income models work for hotels and we bring data-driven analysis to help municipalities understand the differences between hotel valuations versus other commercial buildings and properties.
