Had My Taxes Reassessed

The TOH lets you "plead your case" -by May 17th- to have your taxes reassessed.

Having lived in the house next door to the one I bought and having looked at 3 houses on the block that were for sale over the course of 2 years, (thus being familiar with the area) I was floored that our taxes were OVER $2000 more than the other 4 houses. My next door neighbor has less property and more living space and his taxes were about $900 less and the neighbor right across the street -in the same exact house as mine but with .04 less acreage- was $2200 less Chat Icon

So I put together a little packet to plead my case - photos, comps, etc...and just got the letter today from the TOH, Assessor's office:

My taxes were reassessed for $2600 LESS than what they were originally Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I cannot tell you how GREAT that feels!!!

I would agree with that too!

I'm still in shock that it worked out in our favor - for as much as it did, no less!
