Property Tax Appeal

I’m Miriam Neff and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan with Wise Women Managing Money.

M As we record this feature, I’m preparing my property tax appeal.  I have for eleven years.  My husband did for many years before.  Were we successful?  Yes, saving tens of thousands of dollars

V Mom is willing to pay any appropriate tax.  Provision is made for appeal.  It’s not hard, just tedious.  Realize the property tax commissioner is tasked to bring in money for the wish list of county governments, libraries, schools, the list is long. 

M Your appeal is based on assessment on similar properties, or appraised value, or recent sale.  Appeals are on line.  Don’t dread it, enjoy the due diligence and the fruit of your efforts.
