Can I negotiate property taxes with my local government?
Yes, you can negotiate property taxes by appealing the assessed value of your home. Start by reviewing the assessment notice to ensure the valuation is accurate. If you find discrepancies, gather supporting documents such as recent appraisals or comparable sales in your area. File a formal appeal with your local tax authority within the deadline and attend the hearing to present your evidence. Successful appeals can reduce your property tax bill significantly.
