What Are Residential Property Taxes and How Are They Calculated?
Residential property taxes (or real estate taxes) impose on homes, land, and real estate. Local governments are the ones who assess the amount of property tax owed and then the property owner pays the taxes. The amount of the property tax depends on location and how much the property is worth.
As the cost of an individual’s home or land increases, so does the residential property tax. Before tax season approaches, a county’s appraisal districts will assess residential properties, usually determined by the property’s market value. If you find that your residential property taxes are too high, contact the Property Tax Experts. We will do whatever we can to help you appeal them.
How to Apply For A Tax Appeal
If your property taxes are becoming overwhelmingly expensive, it might be time to apply for a tax appeal. When applying for a reduction, you will need to:
- File a notice of protest- The first thing you need to do is fill out a Notice of Protest Form. Click here to access the form on our website. Submit the form to the appraisal committee along with any other documentation.
- Prep any information you have for a hearing- Like any court hearing, you will need to gather sufficient documentation and materials to help you prepare for the hearing. Useful materials can include evidence to support your appeal, researching other properties that are similar to yours, and determining your property’s true value.
- Attend an appraisal review hearing- The board hearings can last anywhere between 30-45 minutes. Like any court case, you’ll need to argue your case; this is where sufficient evidence and useful materials come in handy.
