- I bought this book after the assessed value of a vacant lot we own more than doubled. The book gives very little information on this situation and what it gives is incorrect for our mostly built-out community (which computes lot value using a spreadsheet that I don't think even the tax assessors understand very well.) I would have liked to see a lot more (sic) on vacant land assessments.
- This book does a good job of explaining the property tax system and how most people value their property. The book includes examples and worksheets which can be extremely helpful when you are gathering data for your case. The main idea in this book is that your property taxes are too high because your property has not been properly recorded in the tax assessor's office. Determining this and obtaining the data suggested in this book will prove to be valuable information for most homeowners. This is a common reason used to successfully lower your property taxes. However, if this approach has not worked for you, you may want to look into my book, Lower Your Property Taxes, as I have taken a different approach.
- In summary, this book contains everything the average person needs to know about challenging their property tax.
It covers the following and much more
- Introduction to property tax
- Property Valuation Methods
- Valid Methods to Challenge Property Tax
Identifying Assessment Errors
Comparative Market Analysis demonstrating that your home is unfairly taxed compared to others
My only complaint, which is a minor one, is that the book is somewhat repetitive at times and is longer than required. - i read this book and will post remarks on lexingtontruth.com
