Filing a Property Tax Appeal
The first step in deciding to file a property tax appeal is to review the assessment on your property in comparison to recent real estate sales in your area. As part of our free consultation, the Law Offices of Elie Fink will tell you how much the tax assessor is valuing your property at (which is not always clear from your assessment) and advise you about whether we believe an appeal is likely to lower your taxes.
If, on the basis of your free consultation, you would like to move forward with a property tax appeal, you may sign a short letter engaging Elie Fink as your attorney. After that, the only things you have to do are to make your house available to an appraiser or a representative of the Tax Assessor’s office and to decide whether to accept a settlement offer if there is one.
You do not have to file any papers.
You do not have to appear at a hearing or trial.
