Catalyst Property Tax Consultants

Dynamic commercial real estate consulting firm focused on helping commercial property owners minimize their property tax liability

Catalyst Property Tax was founded in 2014 in response to the need for a local high-touch property assessment appeal company based in Boulder, CO that was focused on learning the details of each property to achieve successful outcomes. This approach has led to an 86% success rate which can be compared to an average of 28% in Denver County for 2021. Furthermore, Catalyst Property Tax takes the time to prepare, analyze, and submit each appeal which ensures that there is no risk of the valuation being raised. The fee arrangement is full contingency, which means if there is no reduction, then nothing is owed. We charge 30% of the actual tax savings with no additional fees, regardless of what level of appeal the reduction is obtained. Our goal is to manage the confusing elements of the appeal process from start to finish which saves all involved parties time and energy.

Catalyst has a client list that ranges from large portfolio companies to property management companies and commercial brokerages across Colorado.  Appeals have resulted in refunds up to $1,200,000 for clients.
