Blanket Municipal Appraisal Assessments
Welcome! Making sense of what real estate assessments actually mean is our underlying purpose. We'll try to give you some good pointers along the way. Thanks for downloading Chapter 1 of our free eBook Property Tax Pro 2.0 "How to Determine the Market Value of Residential Property and Win a Real Estate Tax Appeal" Your town assessor relies on the blanket municipal assessment. These values are recorded and are based on quickly arrived at calculations. Errors occur. Consumer reports say an error rate of 40% exists. The National Taxpayers Union put that figure closer to 60%. Each municipality hires some firm to conduct a blanket reassessment. The lowest bid wins. The tax assessor working for your municipality then relies on this opinion. A low-priced bid contractor for a blanket reassessment of the area where you live can't uncover and see all things. Often, when they get back to the office, they copy and pasted a previous result to save time. Your assessment is not a well researched analysis of the facts. How can you uncover error and determine the market value for your home to challenge your assessment? If money is no object, you hire a real estate appraiser for $200 - $300 to do the appraisal. Then you hire an attorney for $500 or so to represent you at the municipal tax appeal hearing. The attorney will present the facts the appraiser you hired found. Oh, I forgot to add, you will have to pay the real estate property appraiser another $300 to $500 to hang around the courthouse since no one knows exactly when your case will come up. The case could come up early AM or late in the day and the one who provides the facts and figures (the privately hired real estate appraiser) has to be present to defend his calculations. So to do this "professionally" from your armchair will cost you upward of $1,000 with no guaranteed results. Or you do it yourself. It's not that hard. You know your neighborhood better than anyone. In fact your are the expert in your neighborhood if you think about it. What are the good points, the bad points. You have an idea how it compares with other neighborhoods, what's ugly, what's nice, what sells, what lags behind. Our book provides easy, step by step universal application - shortcuts the learning curve and plugs in easy to apply viable facts and figures. These are approved appraisal practices. You bypass expensive appraisers and attorneys and save yourself from paying taxes you wouldn't have to because of over-assessments on your home.
