The Property Tax Over-assessment Drama

over assessed property taxes

Property tax over-assessments are rampant but most are not aware of that. Although dollars are hard to earn for many, when it comes to the home front, budget shortfalls seem to always evolve to higher property tax rates. Property taxes never seem to go down and people want to know how to lower their property taxes.

With the reality of over-the-top property tax assessments, most homeowners and businesses need to be on the alert.

The Morning Call in newspaper in Pennsylvania headline read: “Nearly half of Lehigh Valley homeowners are overpaying in property taxes. Here’s how to appeal.”

Being glued to property tax news feeds, I’ve never seen property tax assessors going out of their way to fix mistakes on their books. As the saying goes: “The squeaky wheel gets greased.”

Unless one appeals, nothing happens. 

To ensure fairness to everyone’s primary asset, their home, property tax assessors as well as the county tax commissioner absolutely should be licensed real estate appraisers so they have expert understanding. In reality, rarely are they aboard as licensed real estate appraisers.

When presenting a property tax appeal because of a property tax over-assessment, one has to be patient in educating these administrators.  One needs to present factual studies and evidence.

Think of those in charge of administrating oversight on property tax values this way. You’re presenting your case to minimum-wage retail store workers and need to be thankful they are listening. Then step by step, paint the picture.

Existing nationwide 40%+ real estate property tax assessment over-charge errors need attention. Who’s going to do it?
