Jason Flynn

PRESIDENT / CEO

Jason started Catalyst Property Tax to fill a need for personable real estate tax appeal services based in Colorado.  The assessment appeal process is complex and can take 18 months to resolve leaving an owner intimidated and exhausted.  During his career in commercial real estate, construction, and finance, Jason identified that there was an opportunity to help property owners and managers ensure their taxes were as low as possible.

Jason’s personalized approach has earned the business of some of the states largest property commercial property holders resulting in tax refunds and reductions as large as $1,300,000.  At the same time, most of Catalyst’s clients own individual properties that are valued below $5,000,000.  Jason and his team at Catalyst would be honored to earn your business leaving you time to focus on what you do best.

COVID-19’s Impact

COVID-19 and state orders are having a profound impact on businesses and commercial property owners. Businesses are experiencing the effects of revenue shortfalls and changes in occupancy, consumer habits and industry trends which may continue to be felt long after social distancing orders are lifted. Industry veterans expect that some businesses will not survive, and commercial property owners should be prepared to face increased vacancies and less favorable economic terms.

If this is the case, the fallout of COVID-19 has the potential to result in reduced real property values, and open the door for tax assessment appeals seeking lower assessed values and property taxes.

This is particularly the case for commercial properties under the income approach.

The income approach is the most common method for valuing commercial properties, which values the property as an investment, looking at factors that include income, expenses, vacancy, investment risk and property stabilization. COVID-19 has the potential to change the benchmark of what constitutes a “stabilized property” and the material factors in valuing income generating properties. Lower expectations for market rents and occupancy, coupled with increased investment risk, can result in lower assessed values and property taxes due to COVID-19.

In Colorado, property owners can begin filing 2021 tax assessment appeals in May of 2021. Additionally, the appeal window on 2018, 2019, and 2020 are still open. Please contact us to learn how Catalyst can help you prepare for the upcoming reassessment and explore opportunities to appeal past years.
