Assessing Your Home and Property Tax Liability
To find out if your property tax assessment has gone up, log onto your county’s website and check your property tax assessment. Or you can wait for your annual real estate tax bill, which most counties send out between August and October of each year. It’s also a good idea to check your home’s assessed value at least once every 3 years. This will allow you to catch a tax assessment increase as soon as possible, and you may be able to cut your tax bill. The best month to do this is October. This is because that’s when most counties reassess home values for the next year’s tax bill. You can also see whether your home’s assessed value has gone up by logging into your county’s website.
