CONSERVATION EASEMENTS
Do you own a property that you wish to preserve for generations to come? To satisfy IRS standards and assure that you are establishing a conservation easement that meets your objectives, it needs to be done right. Chet Rogers, MAI and his team have developed a particular expertise in conservation easements. We have worked with property owners throughout northern New England to save over 12,000 acres from development, including 7 miles of lake and pond frontage, as well as a diverse range of ecosystems.
TAX ABATEMENTS
New Hampshire’s tax abatement process puts the burden of proof on the applicant. In most cases, this requires an appraisal report, which is the basis for the tax abatement appeal. Because the nature of this process can be confusing, many property owners are reluctant to file an application. There are a couple steps a property owner can take to determine whether or not their property is over assessed.
- Obtain a copy of the tax assessment card from the municipality and review it for correct land/building sizes and any other building features not listed.
- There are numerous common value issues that can be raised on appeal:
SUBDIVISIONS
Chet Rogers, MAI and his team also have the experience and expertise you need for accurate and robust subdivision appraisals. We typically take one of two general approaches:
1.Compare it to sales of similar subdivisions. Good if you can get it, but seldom do you have data for this kind of analysis.
2.A market analysis that considers existing inventory of house lots and absorption rates going forward.
EMINENT DOMAIN
We have worked with private landowners, and municipal, county, and state governments to knowledgeably appraise properties impacted by eminent domain. There are several important variants of eminent domain, including partial taking and temporary construction easements. Our expertise helps you achieve your goals in a process that is often contentious.
EXPERT WITNESS
Many commercial real estate appraisers shy away from offering expert witness testimony. Not us. Chet Rogers, MAI and his team have a great deal of experience in legal and courtroom settings. We are experts at what we do, and stand ready to provide the expert testimony you need for eminent domain, estate partitions, tax abatements, and more.
