Today, as the CEO of Bettencourt Tax Advisors, LLC (BTA), helping commercial, industrial, and residential property taxpayers reduce their tax liabilities and save them money on their tax bills is still my primary objective.

As a former board member of the appraisal district of the third largest county in the country, I know how important that is for you, too! I have assembled a team of talented, experienced, and knowledgeable consultants who are ready to go to bat for you and developed the latest in Appeal Summary (Sales and Equity Analysis) and GIS mapping technology to better serve your properties in the hearing process.
