Do you pay more than your Fair Share of Property Taxes?
Recent property taxes assessment seem not to be in-line with the current real estate market as recent values on all types of property have been declining at a rapid pace.
If you have been wondering if you’re paying too much in property taxes, you are probably right! it is worth the time to investigate and be sure you are paying only your fair share of taxes for your property.
Assessor’s property appraisals should result in fair and accurate tax assessments, but the truth is the mass appraisal process is subject to errors. Over assessments can and do occur. Appealing Your Property Taxes may reveal these errors or things overlooked in your current assessment and the result is lower property taxes.
You should appeal you taxes if:
1. You have recently acquired real property
2. Your assessment has substantially increased from the previous year
3. Property has high vacancies
4. Property has physical damage from fire, weather, or age
5. Property has been recently improved with and addition or a remodel
6. Have lost a Florida Homestead Exemption.
7. Experienced a loss in value due to declining market conditions
8. You believe the local property appraiser has over assessed you.
