How to effectively appeal your property tax assessment

http://www.gophouse.com/publications.asp?District=41

Hey guys, as promised the above link is an in depth look from our local representative on how to put together an appeal. Cut and paste the address into your browser then click the link in the body of the newsletter on how to appeal and follow the instructions.

Naturally since this newsletter is from my local representative Marty Knollenberg, your community information will be different, and some of the forms may be different as well.

I hesitated sending this information out because of item number 8. Obviously since I am a realtor, I have access to the information required for you to put a tactical assault together for your community. I am happy to do this for you, but after struggling with trying to determine how many of you might reach out and ask me to do the report, and knowing if I have 200 requests for this information how many hours I'll be sitting in front of the computer compiling it for you... I am asking for a nominal fee of $ 25.00 to provide you with an in depth Comparative Market Analysis that will be specific to your individual home and neighborhood. The city of Troy is using 10/01/2007 through 09/30/2008 as their comparison time frame to fight your taxes today... just make sure you provide me with the appropriate dates for your city when asking for this report. I am limited to Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties for the most accurate information.

Let me know if you are interested... I hope the information is helpful
