An appeal takes an afternoon; the saving is worth sizing first.
Turn two assessed values and a tax rate into the reduction, the annual saving, and the monthly saving.
Homeowners comparing their assessment with similar recent sales before an appeal deadline.
Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.
Read the assessed value on your notice. Check the property description for errors first.
Collect recent sale prices of similar homes nearby. Write the value they support.
Write your effective tax rate as a percentage of assessed value.
Subtract the comparable value from your assessment. That is the reduction you are arguing for.
Multiply the reduction by the rate. Divide by 12 to see the monthly figure before you decide to file.
Your assessment is $320,000 and comparable homes support $295,000 at a 1.2 percent rate. That is a $25,000.00 reduction, $300.00 a year, and $25.00 a month.
Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.
