How to Challenge Your Property Taxes and Save Money
Nobody likes overpaying taxes. If you own commercial real estate, you might be paying more than you should due to assessment errors. The good news? You have the right to challenge your property tax assessment and potentially lower your bill. Here’s how to navigate the process like a pro!
Why Property Assessments Aren’t Always Accurate
Assessors use different methods to determine your property’s value, but they’re not perfect. Mistakes happen (whether due to incorrect data, outdated records, or unrealistic market comparisons) and an overvalued property leaves you stuck with a bigger tax bill than necessary.
The Steps to Disputing Your Property Tax Assessment
If you suspect your property’s assessed value is too high, here’s what you can do:
- Review Your Assessment: Look over your property record for errors—wrong square footage, outdated renovations, or missing details that could affect valuation.
- Gather Your Evidence: Find comparable property sales, get an independent appraisal, or research market trends that support your claim.
- File an Appeal: Submit a formal dispute to your local tax office within the required timeframe. (Deadlines matter!)
- Attend a Hearing: If necessary, present your case before a review board with solid data backing up your request for a lower valuation.
