Overpaying Property Taxes?

According to the National Taxpayers Union, 60% of properties in America are assessed higher than their current value. That’s because, they are usually appraised every two to three years, in which during that time the home value can decrease, especially in this real estate economy. The Jacksonville local movers remind you that you can appeal your property tax assessment with the help of some research online. You’ll find comparable properties in your neighborhood or area that have sold for less than what you’re home is valued at. The website ValueAppeal.com for example will give you a list of ten comparable properties and report you can mail to your appeals board. EasyTaxFix.com gives you three comparables, n appeal form and instructions on how to go about the entire process. Both of these websites will give you your money back should you not win the appeal. You can always hire a real estate appraiser to do the job as well. You can find professional and certified appraisers through Appraisal Institute or the National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers.

When it’s time to move into a newly appraised home, call the local Jacksonville moving specialists to help you efficient and professional moving services.
