Im pretty sure the ATI exemption will only apply if the property was previously assessed at the 6% ratio when the transfer occurred (i.e., when you bought it). 

I must of missed where they said these were occurring, it was a little confusing and I hope I can work with them to better explain when these events were occurring. 

At the end of the day, that is life however to Stuart's point, you may want to consider investing in better areas where this does not occur normally if this is an unsettling occurance for you. 

While insurance might cover the reconstruction of your property, the community's recovery could take years or, in some cases, never occur.

When that shift occurs you will experience appreciation that can actually be realized in a sale because you are no longer limited to selling your real estate to other investors.

Usually taxes, maintenance, and fees are deducted in the year they occur.

The office administrator did the initial due diligence, the corporate counsel reviewed the lease, the accounts payable coordinator setup the accounts and sent the security deposit, one of the VPs signed the lease, and only after all of that occurred did I get the name and contact information of the tenant.- Now I am in their system as a Vendor/Subcontractor.

If all appears to be in order then there might not be any harm staying with HR Block.

Does anyone know what the landlord is supposed to do when construction will be occurring on the premises? 

You must complete these new agreements with your tenants without revealing your liability or opening the door to harmful legal claims.
