Assessments are a formula applied across thousands of homes, so errors are normal. The kit helps you gather the recent sale prices of similar homes near you, the proof that shows your value is too high, on any device.
An appeal is won by showing similar homes sold for less, not by arguing the tax is too high.
The kit walks you through finding three to five recent sales of similar homes near you, lining their prices up against your assessed value, and turning the gap into the number you ask for. It builds the worksheet and the cover letter from what you enter.
Property tax appeals are local, so the deadline, the form, and the board are different in every county. Many give you a short window from the date your assessment notice was mailed. The kit helps you find your county's exact rule then helps you add the deadline to your calendar.
An appeal lowers your assessed value. Exemptions lower the taxable part separately, so you can claim both. Sometimes a single missed exemption saves more than a won appeal.
For the home you live in as your primary residence. The most common one, and often missed.
Based on age, income, or a qualifying disability. Many counties also offer a value freeze.
A service-connected disability can reduce or even eliminate the bill in many places.
Freezes, abatements, and circuit breakers that vary by county. The kit helps you ask for every one.
An assessment notice is easy to file away and forget. The kit shows you whether yours is worth challenging.
It helps you check the county's facts about your home for mistakes, since a wrong square footage or bedroom count is common, and compare your value to what similar homes nearby recently sold for. Then it generates the first letter that asks the assessor for a review, filled in with your answers. You review it, change anything, sign it, and send it yourself.
Informal reviews and board hearings cost nothing. A consultant takes a slice of your savings every year they help. The kit is yours once.
