Assessments and Appeals

Home > Assessments and Appeals

PTMS puts you back in the driver’s seat managing values and appeals.

PTMS calculates the assessed value on each of your properties using jurisdictional depreciation calculations. This system-calculated value allows you to have a basis of comparison for flagging overvalued assessments. It also provides for more accurate and timely budgets and accrual updates. If an appeal is warranted, PTMS will manage every step in your protest process, from hearing dates to contingency fee calculations to tax savings reports.

Advanced functionality for PTMS

How does this help my business?

PTMS has been a huge time-saver for us, from filing returns, the assessments, tax bills — really the whole process from beginning to end. We can prepare two or three hundred returns for a state  in four to five hours, and get them out the door same-day if needed. If you did that by hand, you’d need several people on hand to be able to handle that volume!
