Real Estate Appraisers

A fair property tax system requires that the government’s appraisers assign an assessed value to your property based on its true fair market value.   If the value the government’s appraiser assigns to your property is not in line with your local real estate market or is based on error, or doesn’t reflect the condition of your property (often times this is not accounted for by the government), then your property may be over-assessed.

How do you determine whether your property is over-assessed based on an incorrectly assigned market value?

• Start a Real Estate Tax Master Evaluation or
