Property Tax
Every one has a different perspective of what a house is worth. And it’s the tax assessor that seems to always come in at the high end of the scale! Challenging the tax assessment has become an annual ritual in many parts of the country. Unfortunately, most people go into these challenges unarmed. They may pull some information from the internet to support their claims, but have no real basis.
A real estate appraiser can help in these situations. It may not be economical to commission a full appraisal; often an appraiser can do a limited appraisal or neighborhood analysis for less. These documents can carry a lot of weight when you appear before an appeals board.
