Not every assessment presents a strong basis for appeal. Depending on the jurisdiction, relevant grounds may involve overvaluation, lack of uniformity, incorrect property information or other issues recognized by the applicable appeal process. The available evidence should determine whether further action makes sense.
A rising tax bill is not by itself proof that the assessment is incorrect. Property-tax bills can be affected by assessment changes, equalization, exemptions, tax rates, levies and other jurisdiction-specific factors. An assessment appeal addresses issues the applicable appeal process allows you to challenge.
An appeal also requires attention to filing rules, deadlines and evidence. Possible outcomes depend on the jurisdiction and reviewing forum, and an appeal does not guarantee that an assessment will be reduced.
FairHome is built to be willing to say no. When the available evidence does not support further action, that is a useful result too. The property can still be kept in context for supported future assessment changes, filing windows and other relevant events.
