Appealing Property Taxes

THIS IS NOT A TAX BILL

drubin11 — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 14:59:53 +0000

Well then what is it? It is your notice of assessment and how your property taxes are calculated. Once you get this you are on the clock to challenge the assessment and how much you will pay this year in property taxes. Each municipality is different, but sometime in March the info on THIS IS NOT A TAX BILL can be challenged, this is your only chance. In order to appeal your taxes, you most have your valuation challendged at the local board of review.

This is what we do, we make sure you are only paying your fair share. We do this without a cost to you. If we save you money you pay a contingency amount on the savings, if we don’t save you money, you pay nothing, not a dime or a nickel. Apply online, its simple and may be the best thing you do all day. www.weappealpropertytaxes.com

Board of Review, not so good?

Most of you who went before your local board of review will start getting the results in the next week. Our experience tells us that most of you will not be thrilled with what the have to say. 93% of those that go to the board of review stop there, don’t be one of those if you feel that your house is not valued correctly. With your board of review results in hand, contact us and we can take your case to the Michigan Tax Tribunal in Lansing. This is what we do, we can help.

It is March 1st, the March Boards of Review all over the State of Michigan will begin meeting this week with residents who feel they are paying too much on their property taxes. Most homeowners who reviewed their Notice of Assessment (the “THIS IS NOT A TAX BILL” notice) were pleasantly surprised to see their property taxes decreased for 2010, but are they lowered enough? Could you sell your house for 2x the SEV today? Our people, who know this kind of stuff, believe that in some cases they were, and in some cases they were not. This type of analysis and data provided by Our People is why they are so important to us at www.weappealpropertytaxes.com. The real answer is it all depends on your individual situation, your house, your neighborhood, and how tired the assessor was when calculating the info on your house and your area.

If you are curious if you are paying too much, and you have not done so already, go to website and get your info in here, but do it now. There are a few precious days left for the experts at WAPTax to review your property tax situation and get the appeal in to the board of review. If you are not curious about your property taxes, I suggest reading about the Olympic Gold Medal Hockey game that Canada won yesterday in the best game ever.

If you have submitted your property tax request for appeal to us already, Our People are working on reviewing your case, make sure you have emailed or faxed your 2010 Notice of Assessment to 248-382-0090. We will be in touch with you shortly and let you know if we plan on lowering your SEV and saving you cash money on your property taxes

Shaun White’s Property Tax

Shaun White doesn’t own a home in Michigan so we are not appealing his property taxes. He is amazing to watch as a snowboarder and if he did have a house in Michigan we really think he would use www.weappealpropertytaxes.com to save cash money on his taxes. This is just our opinion. The deadline is fast approaching, get your property info into the “lets get started tab“ on the website, just like Shaun White likely would.

Your Property Taxes Have Been Lowered… maybe.

If you got your Notice of Assessment (that official looking form that says THIS IS NOT A TAX BILL) in the mail you will have seen a reduction in your Assessed Value, which could possibly lower your 2010 property taxes. Some have even come with an estimated reduction highlighted in yellow, very cute, our government has become marketing savvy. If you have not received it you will in the next few days. This is great, but don’t be fooled or content.

As real estate housing values have plummeted, assessors have made “blanket assessments” for each market. These assessments have reduced your State Equalized Value (SEV) and if this is lower then your Taxable Value (TV) your property taxes will be reduced for 2010. This is a step in the right direction, but it is not unique to your house or your particular situation. Even though there was a reduction, it may not be enough.

The deadline is fast approaching to have the right to appeal your propery taxes. Let www.weappealpropertytaxes.com review you situation at no cost to you, apply online. If you miss the deadline, you are stuck possibly not paying your fair share, happily.

What Do Property Taxes and Halftime Shows at Big Sporting Events Have in Common?

What do property taxes and halftime shows at big sporting events have in common?

A lot more than you think. Find me somebody who likes paying property taxes, or at least paying more than their fair share. Find me another person who likes halftime entertainment during major sporting events. Even the good performers dont look like good performers on TV. The fancy rolled in stage with made up fans pretending to be going nuts in the front row. The Superbowl is the most challenged by this, but is has dripped down to all the college bowls games, all star games and any other event that it trying to promote itself as bigger then the event itself. Lets stop overpaying what we owe in property taxes and while we’re at it, find something else to do during halftime.

Your Property Taxes Will Have Decreased

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 23:00:47 +0000

Its true, values across Michigan have been reduced. This reduction, if it reduces the taxable value on your house will lower your Michigan property tax bill. The problem is, this valuation was done as a broad reduction in value. Its not unique to your house, your neighborhood, and generally just not enough of a reduction. If property taxes were reduced as much as they should under the current system, the municipalities that rely on property tax revenue would have some major budget issues. Take a real close look at the value on your house, values in some areas should be and could be down as much as 70% from their highs, there is not an adjustment on any tax bill that will show that. Pay your taxes, but pay your fair share.
