Tax Overallocation: How CAMAudit Detects This Overcharge
If your landlord allocated real estate taxes from parcels outside your leased property or included special assessments your lease does not authorize, you are paying someone else's tax bill. Mello-Roos bonds and special improvement assessments routinely add $3,000 to $10,000 to CAM statements without explicit lease authority.
How CAMAudit Detects This
CAMAudit extracts the property description and parcel identification information from your lease and compares it to the tax assessments included in your reconciliation. When tax charges reference parcel numbers or property addresses beyond the scope of your lease's defined premises, CAMAudit flags them.
The tool also classifies each tax line item for category compliance: standard ad valorem property taxes, special improvement district assessments, Mello-Roos bonds, penalty interest, and transfer taxes each have different pass-through eligibility rules. Special assessments in particular require explicit lease authorization and are frequently included without it.
CAMAudit generates a finding that lists each flagged tax item, the parcel or assessment type, and the dollar amount. The finding gives you the specific documentation request language to use under your audit rights clause: the actual tax bills, the parcel breakdown, and the supporting assessment notices.
Real-World Example
A tenant's lease covered Unit 4 in a retail center on Parcel A. The annual CAM reconciliation allocated real estate taxes of $41,000 across the entire center. A review showed the tax bill included $8,200 attributable to Parcel B (an adjacent parking structure owned by the same landlord) and a $3,100 special assessment for a street improvement district. Neither the Parcel B allocation nor the special assessment was authorized by the lease. CAMAudit flagged $11,300 in potential overcharges.
