TAX ABATMENTS

If you are like most of us, your property taxes have probably been increasing at an alarming rate. The taxes you pay on your house are calculated by multiplying the assessed value of your property by your city tax rate.  You can't easily affect the rate without legislation as it is pretty much determined by various government agencies (parks, schools, etc.) run by the politicians whom you elect. You can make sure however that the assessed value of your house has been correctly estimated.

We can assist you by developing an appraisal for your property using current data so that you can have an estimate of market value prepared by someone other than your Assessor. This appraisal can help you considerably with a tax appeal.

The Assessor has an enormous job of trying to make sure everyone is fairly assessed. They actually do a pretty good job.  In fairness to the Assessor, we certainly have an advantage because you can hire us specifically to get a current "look" at your property. Take advantage of that factor.

We certainly can't promise a decrease in your taxes or even in your assessed value. But we can do our best to inspect your property and search for the most relevant data that applies to your situation. A reduction in property taxes usually pays for our fee many times over.
