Property Tax Appeals

Remember: You can pay less on your property taxes if you go at it the right and accurate way. Assessed value IS NOT EQUAL to market value. Every municipality assigns a different ratio to an area. Do it yourself or use a professional to help.


Mr. Glasser is one of the best "Property Tax Appeals" professionals in the business.


Western Property Advisors, Inc. We are a real estate appraisal and consulting firm, with extensive experience in PROPERTY TAX APPEALS throughout California. Our offices are located in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Mr. Glasser has completed over 500 property tax appeals in 21 counties, for commercial property, with a near perfect track record. He holds the MAI designation, which is the highest designation in real estate valuation, as well as a broker's license. The firm can provide an initial feasibility review for an individual property or portfolio without charge. Property types include office, industrial, retail, hotel, and mixed-use property, as well as vacant land.

He has personally dealt with the single largest taxpayer in two counties, with values ranging to over $300 million for a single asset. For many years he conducted the tax appeals for portfolios such as The Vons Companies in Southern California, Safeway in Northern California, and multiple properties for the US Postal Service. The firm is able to deal with property within a wide range of types and sizes.

Clients have included Seagate Properties, Prentiss Properties, SRM Associates, Great West Life Insurance, Pacific Coast Capital Partners, Ford Motor Land Development, Johnson Wax Development, Lend Lease, Chanel, Inc. CBRE Property Management, Cushman & Wakefield Property Management, Public Policy Institute, US Postal Service (leased property), Safeway, The Vons Companies, Zacky Farms, Pilkington North America, New United Motors Manufacturing, Inc., and hotels under brands Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Hawthorne Suites, Ramada Plaza, Days Inn, and Chablis Inn.

Our talent is in identifying property which has been valued too high by the Assessor's Office, determining the cause of the over assessment, developing support for the appropriate tax assessment, and negotiating with the Assessor's Office for an adjustment to the assessment. We also prepare for and conduct hearings before the Assessment Appeals Board (AAB) on those occasions when negotiation with the Office of the Assessor is not fruitful.
