Receiving a higher property tax bill can be unsettling. If you believe your home's assessed value doesn't reflect its true market value, you have the right to appeal. Understanding Property Tax Assessments
Property taxes are based on your home's assessed value, which may not always align with current market conditions. Factors like outdated assessments or overlooked property issues can lead to overvaluation. When to Consider an Appeal
You might have grounds for an appeal if:
Your tax bill increased significantly from the previous year.
Similar homes in your area are assessed at lower values.
The assessment doesn't account for property defects or market declines.
A comprehensive market-based valuation.
Credible documentation for hearings.
Expert testimony if required.
Consultation: Discuss your concerns and the appeal timeline.
Appraisal: Conduct a thorough property evaluation.
