CONTINGENT FEE AGREEMENT
FROM:_________________________
_________________________
This
letter will confirm that we have retained Property
Tax Consultants, Ltd., to evaluate the assessment
of our property(s) which is described below. If
you determine that our tax assessment for 2009
is excessive, you are authorized to represent
us before the County Property Appraiser's office
and the Value Adjustment Board. You are also authorized
to file a Petition for Adjustment of our
2009
assessment.
As
compensation for your services, we agree to pay
a contingent fee in an amount equal to fifty (50%)
percent of the tax savings which we realize from
a reduction in our assessment for value changes,
correction of assessment 'caps' or any error. For example, if
our assessment for 2009 is reduced
by $100,000, and our millage rate is $20 per $1,000
of assessed value, we will pay 50% of the $2,000
tax savings, or a total contingent fee of $1,000.
All fees earned by you will be paid promptly at
the above address, after our assessment is adjusted.
If we fail to pay promptly, you shall be entitled
to reimbursement for all attorney's fees and costs
which you incur in collecting any money owed by
us.
It is understood that Property Tax Consultants, Ltd., is acting as an advocate and is authorized to retain other professionals including appraisers to assist in representing us. However, such costs, if any, shall be payable solely by Property Tax Consultants, Ltd., and shall not be charged to us under any circumstance. We agree to furnish you with additional information regarding our property, to the extent that same is available to us.
You may
resolve our petition or withdraw from this agreement at any time, if you determine that our property is fairly assessed, or that additional efforts on your part are not warranted.
It is recognized that the scope of the services to be provided includes value issues, only, and specifically excludes all issues related to agricultural classification, homestead exemption, other exemptions and special assessments.
