Is your property tax assessment fair, and what can you do if it's not? Knowing how assessments work, and how to challenge them, can save you money and protect your investment.
What to know (and do):
Municipal assessors base value on recent sales, market trends, and home condition. Review those comps carefully.
Gather evidence, dated photos, recent repairs and comparable nearby sales if you plan to appeal.
Deadlines matter. Assessment notices usually come with an appeal window. Miss it, and you might lose your chance.
Consult a real estate agent or appraiser to assess whether the current value is justified.
Final takeaway: Don’t assume your tax bill is final. A well-prepared appeal can reduce your annual tax burden, and make your home more affordable long-term.
