Seeking Successful Property Tax Challenge

One can have a lower mkt value than someone else and still have a higher assessed value so it make it seem like the market value is not a determining factor. According to DOF it’s the starting point for calculating the assessed value. However, that’s where it starts to get murky… They make it sound like a simple formula (assessed value = mkt value x .06 for tax class 1). In reality, it’s not so simple. I have pored over all the information from DOF and the Tax Commission and they don’t reveal the additional factors and variables that determine the assessed value. As others have mentioned, CO, permits etc. are factors but am yet to figure out how they apply those numbers. If anyone has figured this out, please enlighten us.

@Augustiner How is the property tax challenge going? Is the lawyer helpful? If the lawyer is helpful can you share the some details and the contact information.

@mozeeatupu Can you share how you fought the tax challenge and won.

I didn’t win, hence me saying the tax won.
It was a several years ago and every step they yes’ed us to death, said we had a case, jumped thru the hoops then got the decision letter saying everything they did was correct, proper and all their numbers were correct.
