Sound familiar?
- Your assessment notice jumped, but your home's value didn't feel like it did.
- You suspect your neighbors are assessed lower for similar houses.
- You've heard that appeals can work, but the process looks intimidating and the deadline is close.
- You don't know what evidence an assessor or review board takes seriously.
- You don't want to pay a percentage-of-savings fee to a third party for something you could do yourself.
What you get
- Assessment check. A worksheet to compare your assessed value with your estimated market value, and to spot factual errors in your property record, such as wrong square footage, bedroom count, lot size or condition.
- Understanding your notice. How assessed value, market value, assessment ratios and exemptions fit together, and why the tax rate and the assessment are two different things.
- Comparable-sales guide. How to find recent sales of similar homes nearby, choose good comps and adjust for differences in size, age and condition.
- Evidence checklist. Photos, repair estimates, appraisals, listing data and other documents that tend to strengthen a case.
- Appeal letter template. A fill-in-the-blanks letter and a one-page summary sheet you can adapt to your county.
- Deadlines and process map. Appeal windows, informal reviews and formal hearings differ by state and county. We show you how to find your local deadline and the right office, and what to expect at a hearing.
- Hearing preparation. A short script, a list of questions the board may ask and tips for staying calm and factual.
- Follow-up plan. What to do if you win, if you lose, or if you want to appeal to the next level.
Who it's for

- New buyers whose assessment seems out of line with their purchase price

Who it's not for
