Higher commercial property tax assessments in Collin County contradict market trends.

DALLAS, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, April 26, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- The 17.4% increase in tax assessments for houses is certainly noteworthy, but it pales in comparison to the 31.7% increase for commercial property. Hotel owners are shocked at the close to 50% increase in assessments and apartment owners are apoplectic regarding a more than 45% increase in tax assessments for 2023.

Higher Assessments Contra Market Trends

The 31.7% increase in commercial property assessments inconsistent with the 15 to 30% reduction in value of commercial properties in 2022. Higher interest rates led to higher cap rates which caused values and transactions to tank. Commercial property sales are off 70 to 80% and concentrated on distressed property sales with no other options.

Office property assessments increased by 15%, but office owners are in a long-term adjustment to demand for office usage due to COVID. Most lenders are shunning new loans for office. Commercial property built after 2001 has assessments increases north of 33% for 2023. Substantial increases are evident across all commercial property value ranges in Collin County, with the heftiest elevation in taxable value for property over $5M, at a massive 32% increase.
