CAM Billing Considerations
- Annual assessment cycle creates year-over-year volatility in tax pass-throughs
- Two-state metro (NE/IA) with different assessment systems and appeal processes
- Financial services concentration (Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, TD Ameritrade) anchors office demand
- Nebraska Opportunity Zone and TIF incentives complicate tax basis
- Tornado/severe weather insurance costs are material given plains geography
