- Short Bio
You live in Chicago on a decent but not overstated piece of property. Your house is small, started as a fixer upper, but it’s yours. You never anticipated that your property taxes would be so astronomically unfair that it would make you break a sweat just reading the bill. You know you’ve got to fight the overvaluation of your property, but you don’t know where to begin. There’s really only one logical place to start… It’s time for some legal help from a top-notch Chicago Property Tax Lawyer. The appeal process is timely, complex, and you have to file very specific paperwork and evidence by a specified date if you even have a remote chance of winning your appeal case.
Here’s the REAL Scoop on Your Overvaluation and Why it Happened
Here’s the plain, simple, and brass truth about over valuations – even if your home looks rundown and old or it requires a lot of interior fixes, it makes no real difference to the Tax Assessor who assesses your property. The chances of your home being overvalued are AMAZINGLY HIGH. In fact, the Tax Assessor’s office cares very little about factoring in the true condition of the home and property in question, so you can practically anticipate winding up with a property assessment that’s unfair. It’s likely your property will be compared to newer style homes, resulting in an overvaluation of your property.
If You Only Knew How Your Home Would Be Assessed
While it may seem logical to have your home assessed by comparing it to properties of a similar value and age, that’s not what always happens. Tax Assessors don’t use distressed properties or sales to compare your property to in order to make an assessment. The fact is, when it comes to assessing homes, there’s hardly any integrity in the process. In fact, it’s really all about the money and the taxes you’ll pay to your township isn’t it? The bottom line is an incongruent examination of market trends and an unfair comparison of your home with more pricey properties of a similar style are why your tax bill probably scared the hell out of you this year.
Just because the assessment process is not exactly stellar, it doesn’t mean you have to acquiesce to being ripped off through a sloppy property valuation system. Don’t sit back and simply accept the crazy property tax fees you’re going to have to pay. If you retain a Chicago Property Tax Lawyer today, you can reduce what you're paying through the tax appeal process. The benefits of getting a lawyer include:
