How assessments work
Most jurisdictions estimate market value (or taxable value) and apply local millage/tax rates. If the assessed value is higher than real market value—or your property record is wrong—you may be overpaying.
What wins appeals
- Comparable sales (similar homes, near the valuation date)
- Proof of errors in square footage, lot size, features, condition
- Condition evidence (photos, repair bids, inspection reports)
- Uniformity (similar homes assessed lower)
