Update, my neighbor and I got the same 11.5% reduction. He did the calculation and says it saves us $1000, I took his word for it.
I had the city call me about my complaint and the guy basically told me to pound sand because they use their formula and that's what the formula says. Though next step is to actually have a meeting with the review board and plead my case and see what they say.
No time or date's been set though, so who knows when that'll happen. Feels like it's not worth doing but at the same time fuck the city.
You can email them asking for disclosure of their evidence. What they will send you is a listing of their assessments citing fairness amongst comparable neighborhood houses.
You can get area sales reports from Beyond realtors and submit that as evidence to refute the city's numbers.
The basis of using their assessment numbers to argue your assessment versus actual sales data is asinine.
The only purpose of the assessment is to assign your relative contribution of tax burden.
Their methodology of using a relative comparison of your home to other homes they assessed is accurate for this purpose.
The absolute number isn’t terribly relevant or useful.

I don't have my doctorate in Real Estate but that methodology seems like you'll increase your assessment further in this market.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
