Your property taxes may be assessed too high!!

It’s no secret that property values have recently declined. Because of that, it

would make sense that property taxes should also decline. But the way your local

jurisdiction assesses property taxes may not take into account important factors that

could save you hundreds on your tax bill.

Consider the following questions:

• Are there errors on your tax assessment? Check it closely for

things like incorrect age, square footage or description.

• Did you buy your home in a bidding war? If so, there’s a chance

that the property is over-valued, and thus over-assessed.

• Do you see a dramatic rise in taxes compared to last year? Some areas

have laws that cap how much above market value an assessment can be.

The National Taxpayers Union estimated that as many as 60% of homes in America

are over-assessed. And that was before the current decline in home values. If you

think you may have an over-assessed tax bill, give me a call. I’m very familiar with

home values in your neighborhood and can give you an expert, honest opinion. I

can also provide help should you decide to contest your tax assessment.
