The Story Behind Mylowertaxes.com
The MyLowerTaxes website was created as a result of the many requests that I have gotten from homeowners wanting help in lowering their property tax. As a real estate appraiser, real estate sales agent, and a homeowner who has paid (and overpaid) taxes over 30 years of homeownership, I have a good idea of the county assessment process and how homeowners may over-pay their taxes without ever knowing it. As a real estate appraiser, I have helped many homeowners reduce their taxes. That is a time consuming process and could be expensive for the homeowner. I have always thought that there should be an easy, quick, and inexpensive way to help property owners appeal their taxes.
Almost every county across the US has a property tax appeal process. With the online availability of real estate data, Automated Valuation Models (AVMs), and the ubiquity of personal computers, it is now easy to assemble the information needed to:
- Find out if you are being over-assessed (and therefore overtaxed), and
- Appeal your assessment to the county assessor.
Along with homeowners, assessors, appraisers and other knowledgeable people, we have created this website to instantly determine if you are paying too much in property taxes. You can easily and quickly enter your property address and immediately receive a customizable home valuation and tax reassessment application to be printed, signed, and mailed to the county.
If you are one of the millions of homeowners overpaying on your taxes this year, please go to our site to instantly print out your report and application. You will see that it is a far superior alternative to spending the many hours and energy to do it on your own. Isnt your time valuable?
