Logistics, Transloading, and Intermodal Property Tax Strategies
Margins Are Tight–Unlock Tax Savings
Reclassify your property to free up capital and lower your tax bill–often in a single engagement.
Why Rail Designation Matters
You Might Be Overpaying—And Not Even Know It
Rail-served and nearby properties are often taxed as if they aren’t. When they’re misclassified or wrongly designated, it can cause jurisdictional errors resulting in radically inflated tax bills.
- Inflated Assessments :
- Rail-served properties connected to multi-district rail networks are often misclassified and over-assessed by local assessors who lack jurisdiction.
- Missed Designation Opportunities :
- Many industrial sites qualify for rail designation but are taxed as if they don’t.
- Permanent Savings :
- We focus on one-time jurisdictional shifts that deliver long-term tax relief—no recurring appeals.
Bulkmatic Railroad was staring down a tax bill of over $625,000 for one of our tank farm facilities. Fulcrum Enterprise came in, challenged the assessment, and got it reduced to just $70,000. That’s over 88% in savings — real money back to the business.
