Job Description
Overview:
The Vice President of Property Tax Valuations & Appeals is tasked with minimizing property taxes assessed against Brookfield assets. This is achieved through a comprehensive analysis of the property tax process and department functions, including but not limited to all aspects of real and personal property tax reporting, valuations, appeals, and oversight of the compliance function as it applies to the preparation, review, and filing of income and expenses and rent rolls with taxing authorities. Additionally, the role involves providing property tax projections for the Development and Acquisitions teams as they pursue and close on new assets.

In this function, the successful candidate must possess both the knowledge and ability to present appeal cases before taxing authorities, appeal boards, and courts in order to obtain valuation reductions that lower the property tax liability on multiple property classes, in numerous jurisdictions.

The position involves employing property models, preparing property tax appeal appraisals, and filing all supporting and required appeal documents. Further, proper selection, preparation, and support of the applicable income model, along with the development, employment, and support of capitalization rates are necessary.Compliance oversight directly impacts final appeal results. As such, the VP oversees the collection of accounting records, income and expense reports and filings, as well as all tax-related documents generated internally and externally. The VP also oversees the analysis and correction of the records and documents and ensures the completion of all compliance requirements for filing personal property tax returns, income and expense reports, and the review of notices of value. Additionally, the position is directly responsible for building property tax budgets, revising forecasts, and approving accruals related to forecasting adjustments.
