| + | Just like countless Houston homeowners do each year, commercial landlords are complaining about their property taxes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Houston Buildings Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) said Tuesday that the Harris County Appraisal District has put unusually high valuations on their properties for 2013. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Downtown properties were hit especially hard, the group,[http://zbdjlb.funbbs.me/viewthread.php?tid=2687&extra= July Fourth notebook- Park Strip fun despite the weather],[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Rangers-10-Gaborik-green-Jerseys-7226/ Rangers 10 Gaborik green Jerseys], with a 58 percent increase this year. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tammy Betancourt,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Rams-39-Jackson-White-Kids-Limited-Jerseys-24062/ Nike Rams 39 Jackson White Kids Limited Jerseys], Houston BOMA s executive vice president and chief operating officer called the increases arbitrary. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Such incredible percentages in one year is absurd, and more than a little disturbing, Betancourt said in a statement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | High-rise office buildings showed a 48 percent increase over 2012,[http://87.106.99.97/observatoire/index.php/Utilisateur:Master143#Thomas_Friedman-_Message_is_about_much_more_than_coal_0 Thomas Friedman- Message is about much more than coal 0], and low-rise properties were up 23 percent. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Those affected, BOMA said, are going to the businesses that lease space in Houston buildings: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Houston BOMA members are extremely concerned about the negative impact these appraisals will have on businesses. Property taxes are nearly always passed on to tenants as operating expenses. With escalating property valuations,[http://www.kayudo.co.jp/cgi-bin/aska/aska.cgi/aska.cgi?mode=resmsg&no=1247690 A Beginners Guide to Blog Promotion], every company leasing space in Harris County will potentially see a significant increase in operating expense billings. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Valuation increases of this magnitude will have an extremely negative impact on business owners county-wide, said Betancourt. HCAD has sent a clear message with these exorbitant assessments and the resulting increased costs of doing business in Houston and Harris County, that they are not concerned with preserving the environment of business growth or economic development. | ||
