SAMPLE:  2011 Real Estate Tax Assessment Appeal Agreement

Between Dixon Commercial Real Estate (“DCRE”) and Property Owner / Agent (“We” or “Us”)

Assignment:  DCRE will prepare and present an analysis of each property to the Special Magistrates of the VAB.  However, DCRE may withdraw the petition if, after thorough review, it determines that the property is fairly assessed, or that additional efforts are not justified.

We will promptly provide DCRE any requested information required to pursue the appeal (subject to availability). We understand that no guarantees have been made as to the likelihood of reducing the assessment on any particular property. It is understood that if an assessment reduction is not obtained at the Value Adjustment Board, relief through the Circuit Court may be pursued at our option. We acknowledge that DCRE does not engage in the practice of law, however, DCRE may cooperate with any counsel retained by us.  It is understood that DCRE has no control over the scheduling of the VAB hearings, nor the issuing of any refunds that are owed by the County.

Payment:  For a preliminary tax appeal analysis and set up fee, we agree to pay DCRE an initial non-refundable PROCESSING FEE OF $20 PER FOLIO. All costs for administrative filing fees, income analysis, comparable market analysis, preparing presentations (e.g. photos, aerials, plats, and other exhibits), attending and administering the hearings shall be absorbed by DCRE.

As compensation for this service, we agree to pay DCRE a CONTINGENT FEE OF 35% OF THE TAX SAVINGS realized from a reduction in the tax bill. This fee shall be charged for all tax savings achieved for the current or prior tax years that are a direct result of actions taken by DCRE.

Earned fees are due and payable within 30 days of invoice if taxes for the subject property have not been paid. If taxes have been paid, earned fees are due and payable 30 days after the issuance of a tax refund. If DCRE takes any action to collect a delinquent fee, we agree to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney fees. Any legal action arising out of this agreement shall be brought in Miami-Dade County, Florida and governed by Florida law. In the event fees are not paid when due as provided by this agreement, DCRE is authorized and shall have the right to record a lien against the real property identified herein to secure such fees, following 30 days written notice to us. This agreement is in effect for the indicated tax year(s) only.  IF THERE IS NO REDUCTION, THERE WILL BE NO CONTINGENT FEE!
