About CPS
A NOTE ABOUT CHECKS AND BALANCES:
While VABs are part of the state-wide tax scheme, the process itself is administered locally, with supervision by the Florida Department of Revenue. Compliance with state standards iis key!
Making Major Strides
Commercial Property Services was
established in 1992 on the same principle our American Founders expressed as
early as 1765 ~ that all taxation must be fair. Even
Abraham Lincoln appealed tax assessments for the Illinois Central
Railroad in 1861 - and he won.
Representing Florida property taxpayers with
billions of US dollars in cumulative values, we know Florida's state
standards of assessments. And we get straight to business ... at both Capitol and County levels.
CPS
pro bono
contributions include:
substantive changes in
s. 194.301 Fla. Stat.
(1997),
crucial recommendations in
House Bill
909
(2008),
fundamental perceptions related to House Bill 521
(2009).
CPS initiated the petitioner's right to reschedule
and the VAB evidence exchange, helping DOR
prevail when challenged. PAL (DOR Public Access Library) and changes to numerous
DOR rules and Appraisal Guidelines (2002)
originated with CPS.
