If you don’t agree with your property tax assessment after it’s been conducted, you have the option to start an appeals process. This process is available to property owners who think the results of their property tax assessment were either higher or lower than expected. If you fit into this category and would like to take advantage of this option, contact your local assessor directly to learn how your home’s property tax assessment was prepared. Make sure to have them document where they think the assessment is incorrect, either by looking at comparable sales figures or cost estimates. You should also make sure to pay close attention to deadlines about the appeals that should accompany your property tax assessment. Ultimately, your goal is to gather as much data as possible so you can present a strong case against your original property tax assessment.
