I do not believe the government has the right to home inspection for tax purposes. Didn’t we fight a Revolution against England for that exact issue. So the county raised the property tax this year from 80000 to over 200000. List as 1.5 bath and 1 bedroom. The property tax this year went from 1980 to 4020. I ask,if any home in my town had sold for that crazy sum… they didn’t know of one. This is extortion..and now I will loose my home that i only owe only 20000 dollars in mortgage 340 dollar payment over this monster tax bill. I,can’t pay this sum on 1700 Social Security. I will have to move out into a trailer on rented lot. Is this the American reality for seniors. I live in rural Iowa. We have no police, a poorly equipped fire department, rock roads, and pay ridiculous water and sewer bills’. My water bill is 20 dollars higher than my electric bill. How do you defend yourself from stealing from a person when the thief is your local government.

My husband is a veteran and we are both in our 60'. Our house in Clayton County Georgia we bought in 1989 for about 56,000 we paid taxes with small increases on a yearly bases. In the last three years the taxes went up by 1000 dollars. We are now at the point where it is more than we can afford. Both of us are unemployed but we keep working in a self employed form making less than 30,000 together. We are NOT drawing social security because it's not enough to live on anyway all the taxes would eat it up. Our house was cheap when we bought it because it was build on the lot sideways. Nobody wanted to buy it at the time according to the real estate person we had. The so called front door is actually on the side and the basement door has become the door we go in and out of the house, it is close to the driveway. The street view of the house shows what is the side of the house and some landscaping. Our house is no way a value of almost 200,000 other houses with one bathroom and three bedrooms and unfinished basement, in our subdivision sell for much less. and their house actually have a real front with a front door. We are being scammed big time. Protests are ignored. What recourse does a mom and pop have? We filed a dispute over the the taxes but have not heard a word from the Clayton County Georgia tax office. We tried to get a homestead tax exemption but this is also not accepted because we make a tad bit too much to qualify. In short they want to tax us out of our house, which is paid off. 32 years of paying mortgage and taxes and now we are being taxes out of it into homelessness. This is so upsetting to us and we don't know what to do about it.

FYI you should go to your county tax assessor's office and apply for any and all exemptions for which you qualify. Many counties have exemptions they grant to the disabled, to people over a certain age and income, to disabled veterans but they don't advertise those exemptions and you may need to re-apply on an annual basis. The county tax assessor's office should have a website and many times you can get the PDF forms, online, from that website. Good luck and God bless!

I believe the plan was to double the assessments, don’t fight anyone who appeals (so they would not make a fuss on social media), then collect the excess taxes from the majority of homeowners who don’t appeal. Additionally, if one does not appeal, they pay more taxes every year thereafter. Those who appeal have to do so every year. Any year we are too busy or too lazy to appeal, the default is paying excess taxes.

Take lots of pictures that show the repairs that need done that devalues your home. Roof, foundation, paneling on walls, cracks in wall, no insulation, older construction, wiring, pipes ect. check your assesment card county uses to see if accurate square footage, number of b.r., bed rooms, ect. On our county interney website you can access your card and details. You can call your county to get code if you cannot register and access. They also list similar homes in our area they use to assess against your home. Note those properties against your own. If you know one has a swimming pool and you do not, newer buidings like garage ect., granite countertops (if sold on realators website recently) and yours does not, if their place has a newer roof, furnace or anything unfairly compated to, note it. If you have an old furnace, old pipes, old wiring, note it. If you have a basement that is unfinished or the basement does not span underneath the whole home basement and porches, note it. If a basement here is under 75 percent of the home, it reduces slightly, if basement or part of basement is unfinished, note it. Windows, furnace, water heater, ect. every bit helps. If they have more or less property, or extra rooms or bathrooms, note it. We can apply each year at the county courthouse for an appeal for the $25 application fee. If you don't agree with that outcome, I believe you can get a hearing with the courts, which we have not done yet to understand if worth it or not. But we have gotten some reduced just with pictures and correcting their card. It's been said if you have pictures and proof, you can at least get a 10 percent reduction, it all adds up over the years. They should freeze the property taxes for seniors. The county, state taxes aren't terrible it's the school taxes that hurt do bad. If your school has swimming pools, trips abroad, we should be able to use them too, even tho I wouldn't spend the money for a reduced abroad trip, it's our tax payer dollars.

Your valuation is probably being based on how much you just paid for the property, since that is its fair market value (presuming it was listed somewhere for sale). If you didn’t buy the property in an arm’s length transaction (e.g., you bought it from a relative who never listed it), then the only way you can win your case is to submit an appraisal to the board of revision that values the property at a lower number. Showing up and telling the board how much necessary repairs cost will not work, since it doesn’t tell the board what someone would pay for a home in similar condition in that area. To get that information, you need an appraisal that shows comparable properties sold within 18 months of the tax lien date (either before or after). Hire a lawyer next time, instead of your broker. Boards of Revision in Ohio have gotten really aggressive in the past ten years and have doubled down on requiring appraisal evidence, and there is ample case law out there that says they can do it.

If you are single thr rates cut in at about 24%, then you pay a $17,000 property tax. They are chasing people out of their home.

We live in an older, under 1000 sq ft. home (built in the 40's ). The surrounding land was once farmers field, now new subdivision. I commented to the appraiser when she talked about comparable homes to value our home. I said, there aren't any, how can that be reasonable. Her respince, "that's how we do it." Meanwhile, we have been here 20 years. We used to pay $1500. per year in property tax, we now pay $4000. per year.

We took many pictures of repairs to be done and conditions, we checked county records for proper bedrooms, basement, square footage, any discrepencies in their record for assessment. We were given 26 minutes to reassess a farm with 8 structures on it. We did get some reduced but not enough. We can appeal to reasses every year but have our hands too full just surviving.

As a real estate broker associate in NJ going through that fear induced market created by covid and the mishandling of it in certain states and cities I was blown away watching home prices soar. I was even more surprised by some of the homes that appraised. I had 58 offers on a home and more than half were way over asking price. The appraiser reached out to me and asked if I had comps to which i replied yes I do, but none are close to the offered prices. At that time the appraisers were stretched very thin and many were from different areas of the state. I told him I have 58 offers and can show them redacted of course with only the offer price. Market value is what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept. I don't know how he conducted the appraisal, but the home magically appraised. I notice that some homes are not appraising for the ridiculous offer prices anymore so reality along with the shift have been working in. Best of luck to you and thanks for what you are doing.
