- know what features your house doesn’t have that the houses with your current assessed value do have
- know history of renovations and lack of renovations
- know what grade your houses finishes are
Basically you need to prove with numbers and facts that the houses your house is currently assessed as comps with are larger, nicer and have more features (think garage, pool, extra bedrooms, den etc…) than your house. And that your house is more similar to houses that you’re trying to get your house assessed at. Have all this info in front of you so you can speak to it fluently in the moment. Think like a realtor/bank appraiser.
Thanks!

You’ll get a notice that says, TAX HOLIDAY 2023, ALL PROPERTY TAXES WAIVED!
And then at the bottom, in fine print:
“April Fool.”

Lagging data. If you have more recent comps use it in your appeal. But prices by and large aren’t falling.
Lagging data and wishful thinking
