After years of a red hot market, rising interest rates and, in some instances, reduced demand have put pressure on multi-family properties. Contact Gibbs to ensure your multi-family assessment is in line with your net income current trends.

Rising costs and decreased demand have created a perilous situation for many assisted living and memory care properties. In many cases, these properties have failed to produce a positive net income for multiple years. Gibbs can articulate these systemic issues to taxing authorities to ease the expense pressure on these properties.

Industrial properties often have unique design or structural characteristics that affect their market value. Gibbs is able to understand and distinguish these properties to ensure that your assessments reflects your property’s true market value.

Gibbs has extensive experience with landfills and other specialty property types. In some instances, Gibbs has reduced closed landfill assessments to zero.  Gibbs has also achieved massive tax savings for power plants and other specialty energy properties.

The regional mall property is a failed property type due to the rise in online shopping that has deteriorated demand for the regional mall concept.  However, identifying the signs that a mall is in crisis requires careful specialized knowledge of the industry, and analysis of the varying revenue streams generated by a mall enterprise.  It also necessitates careful and thorough examination of the credit quality, credit risk, capital needs, and retail competition affecting the mall. 


Challenging the assessment of a regional mall is a delicate process, because often the mall is the largest taxpayer within the jurisdiction.  Bringing the special problems evident at the mall to the attention of the local jurisdiction, in a way that can be understood and accounted for, is a unique challenge that only an experienced advocate can overcome.  Please contact the Gibbs team for more information.

Gibbs has resolved hundreds of appeals for dozens of special services and receivers. Properties controlled by special servicers and receivers face unique jurisdictional and valuation issues. Gibbs understands that a successful appeal is often necessary to protect the collateral. Working with Gibbs can ensure that a valid appeal is filed, and your property’s assessment reflects its true value considering the challenge it faces.
