About CLAY | RUPLE | AMES ADVISORS
CRA Advisors is a team of technical experts in the Oil and Gas Industry dedicated to serving mineral owners by ensuring their Ad Valorem appraisals are conducted fairly and accurately. Our primary objective is to protect our clients from being overburdened with excessive Ad Valorem Taxes.
Our founders, having a background in the Oil and Gas Industry, saw a significant flaw in the mass-tax appraisal process for complex mineral properties. Due to a lack of technical knowledge to properly value intricate properties, mineral property owners are overtaxed by county appraisers. As Oil and Gas experts, our reserves-focused appraisal methods consistently correct the County’s appraisals to achieve significant savings for our clients.
Description of Services
Property Protests
CRA handles the appraisal protest process from start to finish. We file appropriate protests with each respective County Appraisal District, requesting all necessary appraisal evidence that affects the value of our clients’ mineral properties.
Reserve-Based Valuation Model
CRA’s geologists and reservoir engineers prepare internal reserve models for each client’s properties, comparing the County’s appraisal evidence – highlighting any mistakes or oversights. We take an in-depth look into all aspects of every single property appraisal, introducing new data to the County Appraiser that they did not have or consider.
Appraisal Negotiation & Settlement
CRA crafts sound, technically supported arguments that the Appraiser cannot dismiss. We only settle once we are satisfied with every minor detail of an appraisal. We assume this process for our clients with a motivated technical team demonstrating proven, repeatable success – resulting in fair mineral property appraisals.
What we do
Our Process
Our team of geologists and engineers complete in-house technical evaluations for the properties we protest as opposed to the industry standard accountant or attorney review. Our scientific approach ensures that the county’s overvalued appraisals are corrected, guaranteeing fair taxable values.
