Appealing your property taxes is done because of inequities in market assessments, which incidentally runs 40-60 percent because of constant errors in blanket re-valuations that don’t get market values right.

The only way to fight your property taxes is to get rid of all municaple elected officials that live in the fantasyland of tax and spend. By electing a culture of conservative tax cutting, budget reducing legislatures.

Property tax re-valuations, contrary to many peoples opinion, do not increase the total amount of revenue raised by property taxes. Whatever the tax bill generated by the various schools, county government and municipal governments spending programs is divided up to spread the tax property tax burden based on the market value in the open market for your home. The municipality collects the amount of tax dollars for the expenses of local government based on their expenses. If the expenses go down, so do your taxes.
