This is how the property tax appeals process typically works. Though there are situations where owners have back-taxes for many years (escape assessments), and there is a different process for that.
Think about your property tax assessment this way:
- Assessed Value $25K high = you overpay by $250 per year
- Assessed Value $50K high = you overpay by $500 per year
- Assessed Value $100K high = you overpay by $1,000 per year
- Assessed Value $150K high = you overpay by $1,500 per year
- Assessed Value $200K high = you overpay by $2,000 per year
Sometimes property owners choose to opt out of appealing property taxes because of the expected hassle of it all or a lack of knowledge for what to do. At times too it can feel daunting to delve into the unfamiliar turf of reducing property taxes. But don’t worry, that’s where we come in.
If you wonder if your property is assessed too high, let’s talk. One phone call or email could dramatically help your situation.
