Should You Appeal Your Property Taxes After Buying a Home?
Many new homeowners believe the purchase price automatically determines their property taxes.
It doesn't.
The county assesses property according to its own assessment system.
Even if you recently purchased your home, you should review:
- Your assessed value
- Comparable properties
- Property records
- Available exemptions
Buying a home does not prevent you from reviewing or appealing your assessment if you believe it is inaccurate.
Before filing, verify that the county's property information is correct and check whether you qualify for any available tax exemptions.
