And that independent person is an independent assessor. matched

And they are going to review your documents, take a look at your property to see if it should be, in fact, valued lower than the assessed value. matched

If the independent assessments show your property value is lower than the assessed value, you or they need to request a meeting with the local tax assessor and ask for your property to be reassessed, reevaluated. matched

So this is the appeals process, technically. matched

So you want to be ready when they're there. matched

You definitely want to be in the house to give them a tour. matched

You want to point out things that aren't perfect. matched

So maybe this area had some flooding or this area is leaking or these appliances are 20 years old or this area of your staircase is chipped and it isn't so great. matched

You want to point out the low lights, so to speak, because your goal is to get them to assess a lower value for your home. matched

On the flip side, you don't want to make any major improvements. matched

Don't go buy and install that Viking fridge days before they're coming. matched

Don't go doing this beautiful landscaping project in the front of your house before they come. matched

Save it. matched

You know, wait for them to make their assessment and then make your changes. matched

That's really the best way to do it. matched

So it's possible that appealing your assessment could result in you getting a higher property tax bill. matched

So you don't want to appeal if that could be the case. matched

If you're going to appeal, it's no guarantee you're going to get a lower bill. matched

And so get a sense of how you compare to your neighbors. matched
