can i get my property taxes lowered?
user
the question is whether the assessment is in line with surrounding homes. if my 1500 sq ft house on 1/4 acre is assessed far higher than a similar sized house/land nearby, i'd have a case. +/- 10% can be for age/quality, but 25% or more, i'd investigate. mhoran is right, values for different purposes need not align. a start would be to use a service like zillow which offers property tax information, as well as house sizes. let us know what you discover. welcome to money.se
