What you can (and can't) do about property taxes

     Unlike income taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, etc., property taxes are not based on fact, but rather on opinion.  The starting point is the market value of your property and the simple truth is - nobody knows what that value is - until the property is sold.  Even then, six months later the value may be different. 

     All anyone can do - either you or the assessor - is try to estimate market value.  Could your estimate differ from the assessor's?  You betcha!  Would a lower estimate reduce your tax burden?  Right again.

     Does this mean you can just make up a low number and cut your taxes?  In a word - no.  This is where ValueBase comes in.

What We Do

     Our job in a nutshell is to develop a realistic, supportable estimate (appraisal) of your property's market value and then, assuming our estimate is lower than the assessor's, convince him we're right.  When we're successful, as we are most of the time, you save money.

     Whether you have a specific problem with one property, need help managing all your property taxes, have questions about filing returns or just aren't sure you're getting a fair shake from the assessor, ValueBase is here to help with:

• Real property
• Personal property
  
• Special studies
