Property Valuation Services

What Property Valuation Services does

Property Valuation Services (PVS) is a privately held property tax consulting firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. The company contracts solely with businesses that own and operate special-purpose, income-producing complex properties, providing assessment reviews, tax appeals and protests, audit defense, and appraisal services across all 50 states. PVS originated as a healthcare property tax specialist—founded by a former in-house corporate tax manager of the largest U.S. hospital corporation and an executive from a national imaging corporation—and has since expanded into industrial, hospitality, multifamily, office, and retail verticals while maintaining healthcare as its anchor segment, serving named enterprise clients such as Ardent Health Services, Community Health Systems, Acadia Healthcare, Community Healthcare Trust, and Vibra Healthcare.

The firm's technical core is PVSpts, a proprietary in-house property tax management system used to manage over 40,000 property tax parcels nationwide. The platform supports business personal property tax, real estate consulting workflows, depreciation schedules tailored to specific industry modalities (including healthcare equipment following AHA useful-life guidelines), and high-technology asset identification. PVS operates with nearly 100 professionals—including MAI, ASA, and CMI designated appraisers—and runs regional offices in Colleyville, Texas (Dallas area, housing IT/Software), Canton, Georgia (Atlanta region, opened 2014), and Dexter, Michigan (Detroit area).

PVS generates revenue through professional services engagements structured as project-based work and ongoing retainers for property tax compliance, appeal, and audit defense. Pricing is customized and quote-based rather than publicly tiered. The firm reaches enterprise clients through direct field sales, account management, thought-leadership content (blog, case studies, video), and referral-driven relationships, with the Dallas-area office reflecting its largest concentration of clients in Texas. A complementary sales-and-use-tax offering is delivered through the sister company State and Local Tax Solutions (SALT Solutions), launched in May 2011. The company is bootstrapped, with no disclosed outside funding, institutional ownership, or plans for an IPO.
