We discuss the importance of accurate assessed values but why do people get so discouraged when it comes time to appeal? The answer is simple, it is a very complicated process if you don’t have the tools or knowledge to do your appeal right. Most assessors will supply you a form so you can document 3 comparable properties. The problem with relying on comparable only property is that you really can’t tell what the quality of a home is by just looking at the outside and some data from the assessors office. Let’s compare two identically built homes of equal square footage, design, age, and outward appearance. This sounds like a perfect comparable doesn’t it? Hold on….. one of these homes was lived in by an elderly man that fixed everything before it needed fixed and only lived in the home half of the year, the other home had a large family living in it and maintenance was not a top priority. So if the first home sold for $150,000 does this make the other homes value equal that same amount? In the eye of assessment, that is exactly what it means. The reality is that the second home may only be worth $90,000 if it were placed on the open market.
