Disney challenges tax appraisals annually since 2015, winning a 2016 court case against Orange County Property Appraiser for unlawfully including intangible assets like brand value, potentially resulting in a $2-80M refund for their Yacht and Beach Club Resorts.

The company sues for 2023 tax assessments on 4 theme parks, hotels, and other Central Florida properties, demanding canceled bills, reimbursement, and legal fees, despite the appraiser’s efforts to implement fairer methods.

Disney’s 2014-2015 assessed resort property value increased by 118% from $154M to $336M, yet they argue against paying taxes on the brand value that allows them to charge premium prices for similar accommodations.

The 2015-2016 tax dispute centered on the appraiser’s inclusion of intangible assets like the Disney brand and managerial skills in tax calculations, which Disney claimed was unconstitutional and invalid.

While engaging in costly lawsuits against figures like Nelson Peltz and Gavin Newsom, Disney consistently challenges tax bills, potentially impacting local schools and services that rely on property tax revenue.
