We got our assessment this week and our assessed value rose $50,000 which is typical of our neighborhood. Wait until inflation sets in.
File an appeal!!
In our county our Treasurer is sitting on $900 million in unclaimed refunds. They just past a law allowing the refunds to expire if unclaimed. The process to claim them is you have to prove you paid them with a copy of the check, but they don’t count the fact that it is paid. If you have it escrowed you need to have the servicer prove it.
Now credit card companies and retailers don’t have this problem. If they were businesses they’d be in the sites of every SA in the nation. The goal of course is to keep the money. Stuff it tax payers.
I fight my assessment every time it comes. It is free, takes about ten minute and I’ll take even a couple of bucks off my legally thieved money.
