Tips for Coping with Rising Property Tax Assessments
If you find that your property tax assessment has gone up, there are a few things you can do to lower your tax bill. First, you’ll want to confirm that your appraisal hasn’t changed. If it has, you can appeal the decision. You have a couple of options for doing this, including hiring a professional appraisal company or appealing your tax assessment yourself. Another option is to contact your local government and ask for a reassessment of your home’s value. This isn’t something you can do at any time, though. In most areas, homeowners only have the right to request a reassessment after a significant change has been made to the property. This includes renovations, newly-installed features, or changes in the market.
