Discounts, Cost Savings and Tax Relief for your home

To appeal a real estate tax assessment, you should first contact the assessor's office in your municipality to find out their specific appeals process. Generally, you will need to fill out an appeal form and provide evidence that the assessed value of your property is incorrect. This evidence can include a professional appraisal, recent sales data of comparable properties, or information about any improvements or repairs that have been made to the property. It's also a good idea to research similar properties in your area to compare their assessed value with your own. The appeal process will vary by state or municipality, but the assessor's office should be able to provide you with all the necessary information. (AI)
