Property Tax Appeal Guidelines, Blanket Assessments
Hello and G'day, {!firstname_fix},
Thanks for downloading http://www.propertytaxax.com/freebook.pdf
We want to help you so you're never over charged on your
property tax assessments without your knowledge.
We want to
remove doubt and establish sound reason.
Your town assessor relies on the blanket municipal assessment.
These values are recorded and are based on quickly arrived at
calculations. Errors occur. Consumer Reports say an error rate
of 40% exists. The National Taxpayers Union put that figure
closer to 60%!
Each municipality hires some firm to conduct a blanket reassessment.
The lowest bid wins. The tax assessor working for your
municipality then relies on that opinion.
A low-priced bid appraisal contractor for a blanket reassessment
of the area where you live can't uncover and see all things. They
many time hire part-timers to do the work.
Often, when they get
back to the office, they copy and pasted a previous result to
save time.
--------------------------------------------
** Since your assessment is not a well researched analysis
of all the facts, should you accept their word as gospel?
--------------------------------------------
How can you uncover error and determine the market value for your
home to challenge your assessment?
If money is no object, you hire a real estate appraiser for
$200 - $300 to do the appraisal. Then you can hire an attorney for
$500 or so to represent you at the municipal tax appeal hearing.
The attorney will present the facts the appraiser you hired found. Oh, I forgot to add, you will have to pay the real
estate property appraiser another $300 to $500 to hang around the
courthouse since no one knows exactly when your case will come up.
The case could come up early AM or late in the day and the one who
provides the facts and figures (the privately hired real estate
appraiser) has to be present to defend his calculations. In other words, to do this "professionally" from your armchair will
cost you upward of $1,000 with no guaranteed results.
Or you do it yourself. It's not that hard. Fifth grade math.
You know your neighborhood better than anyone. In fact your are
the expert in your neighborhood if you think about it. What are the good
points, the bad points. You have an idea how it compares with other
neighborhoods, what's ugly, what's nice, what sells, what lags behind. Our book provides easy, step by step universal application - shortcuts
the learning curve and plugs in easy to apply viable facts and figures.
These are approved appraisal practices. You bypass expensive
appraisers and attorneys and save yourself from paying unjust
tax assessments because of over-assessments on your home. Start using eBook Property Tax Pro 2.0 "How to Determine the Market
Value of Residential Property and Win your Real Estate Tax Appeal
- Rearrange your property's perspective in the eyes of the tax authorities.

Property Tax Appeal Guidelines, Equalization
Hello {!firstname_fix},G'day, {!firstname_fix},
Do you know that over 95% of people have no idea how to
determine if they are being overcharged on their real estate.
You'd think it should be part of your schooling, but don't bet
the farm on it ever reaching the classroom.
The property taxing authorities do not want you to get too
curious about the value they place on your house and property.
You would only create extra work for them. They don't want you
to appeal your taxes. The tax assessor is usually a political
appointment and does not go out of his way to encourage extra
work for himself. And since less than one percent of the
population appeal their taxes, why should they bother to rock
the boat?
*** If you want, click http://www.propertytaxax.com now to for more
information and get your complete resource to maximize your
property tax appeal
. ***
Beside, your town does not have the extra money, time or
manpower to establish accurate assessment figures. They'll
hire a mass appraisal company who does the revaluation cheaply.
Property Tax Equalization, or equal treatment, is impossible
because of money constraints. If you had to hire an independent
appraiser, it would cost about $200 for a run of the mill appraisal.
Your town did the appraisal on the cheap and the fact is that you
have to check for overcharges for yourself. One of the single,
greatest savings at your disposal today is the potential savings
on your property tax bill.
--------------------------------------------
Because your property tax assessment is hastily compiled
should you not check thier process and calculations?
-------------------------------------------- If you think you have a case, the only way to get equalization
treatment on your property taxes is if you initiate a property
tax appeal. It will never happen by magic. Either you pay
someone to do it or you must do it yourself.
Our easy to use, step by step guide will show you how much
you will save. Over the course of time, those tax savings a
re substantial! When you buy our complete guidebook, you'll have
the confidence and peace of mind that your numbers will stand
scrutiny. As an added benefit, you'll cut your preparation

Property Tax Appeal Guidelines, Sales Ratios
G'day, {!firstname_fix},
Just wanted to pass on a few tips to you in regard to the possibility of your
pursuing a property tax appeal.
The fees to appeal your property taxes are minimal. If you do it yourself, with
our book as a coach, you'll save yourself the cost of an attorney and an appraiser.
All you have to prove is that the assessment is unreasonable, excessive or
discriminatory.

Recently appraised properties are more accurate and closer to the dollar amount.
The further out one goes into the past, the less accurate the value is compared to
today's market value. In other words, a recent estimate is closer to reality than
an old estimate. Most states allow you to use sold data that occurred within a
1-year period of time.
Many taxpayers have the impression that their assessment is fair if it is below the
current fair market value. However, what we really are looking for is equability.
Let the Assessors Sales Ratio be your guide.
"Sales Ratio" could be called, depending on the jurisdiction, the average ratio,
assessment level, director's ratio, the common level of 100% of true value, RAR
(residential assessment ratio) or the equalization rate (which may not always be
equivalent to the sales ratio). Assessors use a sales ratio specifically to mass
appraise property within a geographical area.
These are the basic valuation formulas:
Sales Ratio = assessed value/selling price
Assessed Value = sales ratio x selling price
Selling Price (market value) = assessed value/sales ratio
A sales ratio is the ratio between the assessor's appraised
value and the actual sales price of the property. The sales
ratio compares the sale price of a property that has sold
with the assessed value for the property that is on the
assessor's books.
** The predetermined sales ratio and tax rate may change on
an annual basis, which is why you need to do the math.
NOTE: Doing the math will tell you exactly what the tax assessor figurer's
you home is worth. The words "assessed value" can be smoke and
mirrors if you do not make this calculation.
The assessor looks at the value of the homes sold and
compares that to the assessed value. The more the values
are alike, the better the level of assessment. In years
of inflation, or deflation, these values increase or
decrease. The assessor will accumulate sold sales data
and assessed data and array them from the highest to the
lowest. The median ratio is usually selected to measure
the performance in valuing similar properties.
Sometimes sales ratios vary over certain jurisdictions.
The fact is that property should be valued equitably with
similar property types within the same taxing jurisdiction.
When you divide any particular assessed value by the selling
price you'll arrive at the sales ratio. If a taxpayer's
property is assessed at 95% of fair market value and, in the
rest of the jurisdiction, similar properties are assessed at
75% of fair market value, what's fair about that?
Don't be a victim accepting figures at face value.
DO THE MATH!
Most municipalities hire a company to do a "blanket assessment"
since the tax assessor does not have the time to individually
inspect each property. Part-timers, college students and, for
the most part, nonprofessionals conduct the mass appraisal.
Often old values are just rolled over without inspection.
The time value allotted for each house inspection are minimal
and mistakes are common. Because of a lean budget and/or
negligence, distortion and error easily creep into the statistics.
Any mistake on their part can cost you tens of thousands of
dollars over time.

Property Tax Appeal Guidelines, Comparable Sales
G'day, {!firstname_fix},
The subject of saving some of your hard earned money and to prevent it being
siphoned off because of an unjust tax assessment can gnaw at you. I know. I've been
there too. Much of the reason I wrote this is so the average guy would have a chance
at winning his property tax appeal.
When looking for comparable homes your first instinct is to think of the homes near
on or your block. Usually you have to expand your horizons, go furthers to locate
like homes that share similar amenities.
You may think you can stack the odds in your favor by cherry picking your comparables.
What you will discover, that if the homes sold at a arms length transaction without
any hidden agenda, that when you run the figures, it will not make much of a
difference in the valuation conclusion.
The trick to lowering your assessment is in the adjustments and making those
adjustment valuation figures STICK.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
But, make sure your adjustments reflect the condition of your home or the comparables.
For instance, moisture seeping into the rafters, ruining the insulation, and rotting
the structural integrity of your home or a home you are comparing it to could result
in a serious price adjustment.
Our book shows you how to make the proper monetary adjustments to make a viable
market value conclusion. It will give you the needed facts to make your case stand
up under scrutiny.
What you are looking for are homes that sold within the time frame you are appealing.
First locate homes that are similar in style and square footage.
When you consider the potential savings over the years and the fact that between
40 to 60 percent of the homes are over-assessed, we strongly suggest finding good
comparables - homes in better condition than yours that sold cheap.
Consumer Reports has published that property tax records show an error rate of 40%
exists in estimating property taxes. (Nov.1992 v57 nil p.723)
The National Taxpayers Union writes that as many as 60% of all homeowners are
over-assessed and not in line with their home value. ("How To Fight Property Taxes"
2004 p.1)
So here's your chance to discover things you'll never hear from others.

Property Tax Appeal Guidelines - Property Record Card Errors! G'day {!name_fix}, {!firstname_fix},
Property record card calculations are often
inaccurate because of human error in data
collection and because of copying mistakes.
Make certain that lot and home dimensions are
correct. Often the square footage of a garage,
attached storage area, sunroom or porch is
erroneously included in the total living space
square footage. Living space is taxed at a
substantially higher rate than unheated,
non-living space.
Even a simple 2-foot error in recording the
dimensions of a house could result in a 10%
overcharge. For example, a two-story raised
ranch was inaccurately measured 22' x 45'
when it should have measured 20' x 45' and
resulted in a 10% overcharge!
Uneven terrain or obstacles like oil tanks or bushes
increase the likelihood of sloppy measurements.
Often it is much simpler for the tax collector
to carry forward measurements from other
previously collected data.
Your property record card can be found at the
municipal tax assessor's office, and you should
obtain a photo copy. In some tax districts, the
tax assessor will not let you see the property
record card until l week, 10 days (or a restricted
period of time) before your appeal date.
They may not let you photocopy information,
so be prepared to hand copy the information
you will need. While you are there, try to get
the tax assessor's total square foot figures
from the property record cards for the
comparables you'll be using.
Don't be surprised if you are turned down.
If so, you will, most likely, have to resort
to collecting information from a real estate
agency using data derived from sold listings.

Spending Our Money like it is Free Water
Hello and G'day {!name_fix},
When your annual property tax bill exceeds
your federal income tax, many feel that those
property
taxes need should be capped.
Gee, ya think? If it takes a state constitutional
change, then politicians might move in
that particular direction. For many, the
annual property tax bill exceeds their
annual mortgage payment.
Something's wrong! No one who is trying to prepare for
retirement or a young couples trying to
get ahead can plan increasing their
nest egg. How can someone plan
if property taxes exceed their federal
income tax? Property taxes need a cap.
Quarterly property tax bill payment for
many approach annual state income taxes.
Seniors are sadly advised to take reverse
mortgages by selling their homes a little
piece at a time so that they can afford
to stay in a town that they have worked
in all their lives. These are towns and communities
they have supported and improved. If local
and state officials raise property taxes
arbitrarily, how can one stay in town let
alone
plan for retirement?
In most cases, reducing you overall tax burden
unfortunately does not happen. More often it's
like this. New York State local property taxes
increased 42% from 2000 to 2005 or more than
three times the rate of inflation. New York State,
it seems, will not cut services or rein in spending;
the taxpayer is doomed to never ending increases
in property taxes.
What we need are real rollback in tax rates and
not a spineless status quo cadre of bureaucrats
spending our money like it is free water.

Property Tax Reform
Hello and G'day {!name_fix},
Property Taxes "kleptocracy" or democracy?
State legislatures are stalling on property
tax reform. They make excuses, they act gutless.
Why can a municipality reinstate a defeated
school budget? Why can rejected budgets be
appealed to the state capitol, which can overturn
voters mandates?
Why are we not give"Top 10" issues to vote on?
Now that would be democracy!
The vote of the people is often regarded as a navigation
problem. A legitimate vote can be overturned by a
faceless, unelected bureaucrat.
Political trough-swillers want to keep the status
quo end up putting in what they want. They ask for
10 million and cut off $100,000 and then boast of
reducing the budget. Meanwhile your taxes accelerate.
Teachers unions, the cops, city and state unions
are the big fish in their pond. They have lawmakers
in their pockets. As the party bosses cow tow to
the special interests, their nests get feathered;
your nest gets fleeced. 2O years and they can all
opt out for huge retirement pensions and
health perks while most working folks have to slave
away for 45 years. Statistics tell us 1 out of 5
people are ripping us off in such a way!
This type of greed and insider corruption attacks
you by way of ever increasing high property taxes
as well as increases in state and local taxes.
No cost-cutting, no budget discipline, no
accountability by either party.
Where is the political party that will stand tall
on the taxpayers side? Elected officials need
to pass a litmus test of courage and honesty. The
entrenched entitlement programs need to be revisited
and revamped. A campaign to vote the gutless out of
office and replace them with responsible public
servant's with backbones to cut the waste is our
only hope. Who wants tax slavery with retirement
planning remaining an empty dream?

Why Tax Property? Hello and G'day {!name_fix},
Why tax property? The concept of ad valorem
taxation (the taxes levied on your property)
is on the wrong footing. Why do we pay annual
fees for something that we have paid for, we
own outright (or along with our friendly bank)
and are solely responsible for maintaining and
insuring? Are we paying a rent, or are leasing
from the government?
We don't pay ad valorem-like taxes on cars,
motorcycles, boats or clothing or furniture
and so on. We pay a one time tax and own them
just like our property. It makes sense to pay
a one time tax if we buy or if we make a profit
when we sell the thing ... but to pay rent to
a government to occupy our property makes no
sense.
Services such as fire, police, dog catchers,
schooling, some say, should be based on user fees.
For larger services, like school fees, the government
might grant a student loan, much like a mortgage.
Of course, using this type of system, WE have
the option of shopping around for the school of
our choice to get the most bang for OUR buck.
Maybe control lying in our hands is too much to
ask for from Big Brother - or is it?

Sample of a Tax Revolt Petition Hello and G'day {!name_fix},
Please gather names on your Tax Revolt petition!!!
"The New Jersy State Legislature shall be
prohibited from increasing state spending above the
Cost-Of-Living; this spending limitation can only be
removed by a public referundum, during the
General Election."
Cost-Of-Living-Cap on State Spending.
The TRA Tax Revolt Association is creating
a public mandate for a Cost-Of-Living-Cap on
state spending. The amendment the petitioners
are demanding puts a cap on spending tn can
only be lifted by the voters.
Sidebar - The state legislature denies us
"Initiative and Referendum" which means we
can't put legally binding public referendums on
the sate ballot. Our petition is not binding but
if we gather enough names; our public demand
will be a powerful influence when we
elect all our senators and assembly members.
It is a good idea if you carry extra petitions
with you. When you are gathering names for your
petition, someone might want to have a petition
to gather names themselves. It is better to
have extra petitions and not need them, then
to need them and not have them.
Then we correlatate the names we gather for
legislative districts; that is why we are asking the
petitioners to print their names and addresses.
As I mentioned in the sidebar, our petition is
not binding; therefore, we do not need signatures.
This is a statewide petitions drive - you
can send copies anywhere and gather names from
anyone. Please return your completed petitions as
soon as they are complete.
Hark! You have permission to make copies of
this letter and to send it to anyone you want.
We need pullers at the oars; not passengers
in the boat.

"Everyone has the government he or she deserves."

What Is A View Worth? Hello and G'day {!name_fix},
Found this in the Desert Morning News from Utah, l2/27/05 Lake
County section of Suncrest has the highest property taxes in
Utah this year: $1,979 on a $200,000 home. Unincorporated Wayne
County, where Jones lives near Bicknell, has the lowest: $880
on a $200,000 home.
That is a $1,099 additional property tax for a view on a
same-value home. View levels in Utah vary -- and
fluctuate -- a lot.
*****************************************
What we see here is this particular property tax assessor
valued a good view upward at 54%!!
*****************************************
What's important to take away is not to discount the better
view a comparable has. This may not be apparent unless one
physically does a drive by.
On your drive by the sold comparable's, notice any other
features that may warrant adjustments. Especially look for
items your comparable has and that you lack. These are the
minuses that chop away at your valuation. A new driveway,
a newer roof, great landscaping ... all the items covered
in the book.
Multiple regression analysis conducted in Fairfax County,
Virginia as reported in The Appraisal Journal, proved a
n 8% addition to value for a single-family house with a
good view.
If you have a question as to what a buyer would pay for
a specific view, ask a few Realtors® or appraisers for
their opinion. The most accurate method to arrive at the
value of the view is to use matched pairs. Find a sale(s)
of nearly identical property with similar view(s) compared
to sales of equally identical properties without a view.
After adjusting for minor differences between the
properties, their difference is the adjustment.

Property Tax Appeal - How To Present Findings To A Group Tips
Hello and G'day {!firstname_fix},
Ever wonder just how to present your findings to a group?
Whether trying to sell a product, presenting a tax appeal or
making a grand political speech, its recommended keeping three
elements from "Aristotle's Rhetoric: in mind.
1) Establish credibility with the members, 2) grab hold of their
emotions and then 3) present your facts and figures. Without the
emotional grip, you won't be able to keep your listeners'
attention, he said.
1) Your credibility: I live in the neighborhood __ number of year
and have keenly watched, noted changes, compared our
neighborhood with others and have a rational grasp of real
differences in home values.
2) The emotional grip: Along the lines with, we are all in this
together, we want to pay our fair share ... Experts say to only
lead with a story if it has a dramatic or compelling catch.
Otherwise weave it in later.
---------------------
A few quips about taxes:
"I am convinced that if most members of Congress did their
own taxes, we would have had tax reform long ago."
- Bill Archer, politician
"Common sense told us that when you put a big tax on something,
the people will produce less of it. So we cut the people/s tax
rates, and the people produced more than ever before."
- Ronald Regan, U.S. president
---------------------
3) The facts: Use good comparable's within the timeframe allowed for
the year you are appealing. Make your arguments like a top-notch
trial lawyer. Open with a one sentence theme concentrating on the
central idea you want your audience to remember. Give supporting
points to nail down your logic.
Note: The appeal board members are the ones who decide the case on the
county level, not the adversarial tax assessor or the town attorney.
Never tell the board or the tax assessor that you are appealing
your taxes - you are appealing your assessment. You are seeking
equalization in assessment to similar properties such as yours.
Best wishes to you and with your financial future.

Hello {!firstname_fix},
Appealing Taxes - lowering crippling property taxes
People don't know how to cut spending if they don't
know who is getting the tax money.
As previously mentioned, never tell the board or the
tax assessor that you are appealing your taxes. You
are seeking equalization in assessment to similar properties
such as yours.
Appealing your taxes is another matter. What follows
is an attempt to show you how you can appeal your
taxes.
The whole property tax discussion is moot unless
elected leaders realize that any part of government
that spends the tax dollar doesn't't matter to a
taxpayer -- it's the dollars that are removed from
their pocket and their family that hurt. The only
way to reduce taxes is to CUT SPENDING!
Local and state government must limit spending.
There is a need to organize grassroots support
if no organization exists. Taxes, tariffs - the
government heaping on it's tax lead puts economic
brakes on good times.
Historians and economists all agree that the bill to
add taxes via the Smooth-Hawley Tariff Act
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot-Hawley_Tariff_Act
if not causing The Great Depression, deeply worsened it
by reducing international trade, causing a tariff war to
erupt and made goods and services more expensive
for the working class.
1) First, one could write letters to the editor, letters
to other people who would support the cause by
donating postage stamps to offset mailing expense.
Some one with the time to devote to the cause
hopefully will need step up to the plate and take
charge in getting political support organized for
electing hard-core cost cutting politicians into
office.
2) A taxpayers web site could be set up in order to
keep all informed and give factual political
ammunition. Anyhow, here are a few issues that
could be addressed:
3) Collect salary information on public employees
at the local level and county and state level
especially including benefits and special treatment
for health care, annuities, pensions factoring early
retirement costs plus various other perks on us
taxpayers backs. People don't know how to cut
spending if they don't know who is getting the
tax money.
3) Hold lawmakers accountable. Citizens Against
Government Waste says that billions were
raised by skillfully asking for and getting dollars
for local programs ... like the now infamous
$300 million dollar Alaskan bridge to nowhere.
http://www.truthlaidbear.com names Sen. Robert Byrd,
D-W.Va (got over 1 bil.) and Sen. Ted Steves,
R-Alaska as the #1 and 2 top Porkmeisters.
4) All that public funded construction you see around you is bound
to be reflected in your property taxes - even if you
can't afford it. The local town spends it like a free
water spigot. A lot of the money comes for the county,
state or the Feds. We need pit bull watch dogs elected
in office to monitor these extravagances and implement
strict accountability. Pork barrel grafters should be
put in jail not in political office.
5) Urban land developers and contractors constantly lobby
for improved sewer systems. If your town does not
have a sewer system, water disposal treatment plants
and pipeline systems, fight against getting them.
Once state and federal aid shows up there are strings.
Urban land developers and contractors will want to
build high rises, shopping malls, condos, and
townhouses. They need sewers. Unbuildable land
becomes build able. Traffic tension increases.
The state and fed money has strings that will force
affordable and low-income housing into that area.
That sweet suburbia you called home now becomes
another negatively influence urban jungle. Tell me again,
why did you moved from the city to the country?
(note: to get a building permit, you are allowed
to have your septic with in 100 feet of your well.
This means your water is filtered pure of septic
contaminants at this distance.
Is t he only reason one needs a public sewer system
would be
they lived on a rock and the land won't perk?
Or, is that rock a high-intensity septic use high rise
that hidden forces are promoting
?
6) 70 to 80 percent of your property tax bill
attributable to spending driven by local
decisions -- not decisions at the state level.
Property taxes pay for roads, trash collection,
local law enforcement, local schools, local road
funding, fire departments, schools, parks, other
infrastructure expenses and a host of local services.
Consider distributing the tax burden to apartment
dwellers who pay no taxes for their children. Apartment
developers should kick in their fair share to build them.
Existing landlords should share the burden.
7) Since we only pay taxes on stock gains, we could
consider treating property appreciation similarly,
paying only when it is sold and the gain actually
realized. Alternatively, a transfer fee
(i.e., a sales tax on homes) would more fairly
provide revenue than the present system.
- Use of real estate transfer taxes as a revenue
source. Rehoboth, Delaware city's single biggest
revenue source remains the realty transfer tax that
stems from property sales. City Mayor Sam Cooper
doesn't want Rehoboth to rely so heavily on that
money that totals about $2 million each year and
funds Rehoboth's operational costs, including
city workers' salaries. (The tax is based on the
1968 valuation of land and buildings. A tax now,
Jan 2006, for an average lot and home worth $26,535
at that time, for instance, is about $371. )
- "China taxes only residential property sales and
rental transactions -- not their value. Only business
property is annually taxed." Orange County News,
David Damron | Sentinel Staff Writer
Posted August 24, 2005
8) Consider distributing the tax burden to
developer of more than 1-bedroom homes. When
a new 3 or 4-bedroom home is built and sold it
usually goes to a family with kids. Public education
costs the town about $10,000 per child. That new
home that will house 2 kids will cost local
taxpayers for K-12 grade about $250,000.
Developers should kick in some big bucks before
your town gives the green light!
9) Put a cap on business and commercial taxes.
They give the big bang in taxes collected. By
not putting a cap on the taxes and or by reducing
increase to a minimum, business will not be
driven off. Growth of commercial property taxes,
saying they're the biggest roadblock to attracting
new businesses. Business provide taxes, employment
and they don't have those expensive kids like
residential's have to send to school.

Awareness For Price Concessions Hello {!firstname_fix},
Often a home's values are lower than the sales price
since many concession are made.
Often a home's values are lower than the sales price
since many concession are made.
Before putting it on the market, they may install new
carpets, new windows dressings, ceramic tile, new
kitchen appliances, redo the kitchen, new ceiling fans,
repaint the interior or replace window air conditioner units.
If the home still doesn't sell they may paint the exterior,
do extensive landscaping, walkway changes or change entrance
features etc.
Then after six months on the market, a potential buyer may
like some of the home but did not the add-on features and ask
for a price concession. Sellers may have to make
numerous financial concessions. These are not reflected in the
sales price. This happens in a buyers market.

Price Concession Awareness
If one sold you a house for $550,000 but gave away $50,000
in concessions, then that house's real value is $500,000.
That's a 10% adjustment to that comparable.
But, since only the sold price is recorded you can't
tell the Department of Revenue that home values is lower
than the sales price when you use a comparable in your
property tax appeal or appraisal unless you prove it
with a study.
If you have the evidence,a strong case can be made for a
price concession. If you are using a comparable sales to
determine market value, that figure may in reality be much
lower than the actual indicated recorded price.

The Fractional Assessment Loophole
When the valuations are inaccurate, some
pay their fair share, some pay less and some
will pay more.
Fractional Assessment
The fractional assessment system sets up a
base against which valuations can be adjusted.
The base does not change.

Hazards of Frequent Assessments
Valuation increases provide a tempting opportunity
for elected officials in charge of spending
decisions. Ideally, elected officials should reduce
property tax rates substantially to compensate for
the increase in valuation.
That rarely happens.
Since experts agree that there is a 50% chance
that an assessment valuation error exists, only the
homeowner can challenge that error.
If one waits for the taxing jurisdiction to address
that, they live in fantasy land.

----------
When new building
permits are issued and completed, the extra
value added to a home can easily be rolled
over into an increased assessment against
that base.
When new homes are built and
added onto the tax roll, that too can be
easily accounted for. So why should there
be frequent assessments if the tax assessor's
office is doing their job?
Unjust assessments result from someone not
doing their job. The problem lies with the
tax assessor. It doesn't make sense to order
an expensive blanket revaluation for a whole
town because of an inept or lazy tax assessor.
This argument breaks down to costing the town
a few hundred or thousand dollars by granting
the petitioner the property tax appeal adjustment
request, as opposed to spending 100's of thousands
or millions of dollars for large population
area blanket reassessments.
Most towns don't have the guts to fire, a
usually political appointed, staff person.
Maybe they feel their perks; fat health care
packages and entitlements are threatened.
State and local unions should be structured
like construction unions. If you can't do the
job or if the boss don't like you, you're fired.
You don't get paid. A replacement is found
until the job is run properly.
Hazards of Frequent Assessments
Valuation increases provide a tempting opportunity
for elected officials in charge of spending
decisions. Ideally, elected officials should
reduce property tax rates substantially to
compensate for the increase in valuation.
Spend and tax politicians love to see a new
blanket property revaluation. As housing prices
increase the total valuation is higher. With
the same tax rate there is a ton to spend - so
they reduce the taxes a little. By this gimmick
they boast that they cut tax rates all the while
the property taxes you pay go up.
The underlying premise of a fair property
tax is that it should be based on the
value of the property.
Basically, a valuation increase does not
necessarily translate into higher taxes if
the percentage spending by the town remains
the same. Property valuations on the local
tax rolls are supposed to reflect what the
property is worth on the open market.
If valuations are inaccurate and out of
date the result is unfairness. Why should
you pay more property taxes than a neighbor
with an almost identical home just because
the assessor hasn't got around to updating
your neighbor's property assessment?
