Criterion Property Resources, Inc. is a Nashville-based property tax consulting firm that has concentrated solely on ad valorem tax appeals since 1989.  During that time, we have reviewed on an annual basis a client property portfolio valued in excess of one billion dollars.  Our record on behalf of our clients we feel speaks for itself.  To date, our efforts have resulted in favorable reviews and dispositions in more than 97% of our appeals, and our successes have achieved an average savings of approximately $12,000 per property.  We feel that our track record of savings is virtually unsurpassed in the industry.

The employees of Criterion Property Resources, Inc. are dedicated to serving our clients' many needs by serving as your property tax experts.  We are diligent in our efforts to achieve the lowest possible tax burden on your property.  In addition to property tax consultation, our consultants' backgrounds also include experience in real estate appraising development and brokerage.  We keep abreast of all major markets and pertinent news in the State of Tennessee, thereby enhancing the value of our services.

We strive for excellence in every aspect of service to our clients.  We achieve this in many areas, a few of which are:

Taking a proactive stance by keeping track of all deadlines that must be met 

Reviewing all pertinent information concerning your property, i.e., tax assessor records, income and expense statements, cost records, comparable sales, etc. 

Preparing an in-depth analysis to be used in defense of an appeal to the Board of Equalization. 

It is a fact that property taxes are usually the highest portion of operating expenses.  We specialize in the review and appeal of your commercial and/or industrial property to minimize your property tax burden and save you money.  This results in increasing your net operating income which ultimately increases the value of your property.  If you are not absolutely positive that you are not contributing more than your fair share of the tax burden, let us perform a no-cost review of your property to determine if an appeal of your property tax should be performed.
