Assessment uniformity as basis for a property tax appeal

Is your home assessed for more than similiar homes nearby?

The county assessment for your home may seem to be accurate at first glance, which causes many homeowners to simply toss their assessment notice in the trash and pay their property tax bill without further ado. However, your home may be assessed for more than other very similar homes nearby. If there are ten, three bedroom, two bathroom homes on your block that are all very similar in lot size and square feet, why should your property tax assessment be higher than everyone else’s?  It shouldn’t. Assessment uniformity issues crop up most often in subdivisions where similar size homes are built on similar size lots.

How do you know if you’re home is assessed uniformly with your neighbors?

When a customer types their address into the ValueAppeal homepage we perform two unique analyses. First we look for comps nearby that sold for less than your home is assessed for. Second we look at all the similar homes in your immediate area to make sure that you are assessed fairly relative to your neighbors. Assessment uniformity is often overlooked by homeowners because they don’t have any easy way to quickly check to see if their home is assessed fairly relative to their neighbors. ValueAppeal empowers homeowners to easily confirm whether there is assessment uniformity in their neighborhood or not.
