Hi all -
Anyone had recent experience in fighting a property tax re-appraisal for self serve car washes? The big difference from other appraisals is that they are labeling the property as a "special purpose building", therefore using a car wash appraisal per sq foot value - rather than appraising the building as a block structure. I did extensive work to demonstrate that the equipment is 'soft' mounted and could be easily removed. Can an property assessor appraise based upon a business that the structure houses? Wouldn?t seem so.
Any tips or similar experiences would be appreciated.
