Frequently Asked Questions
When can I protest?
Online protesting typically begins May 1, 2012 and the deadline to file a protest is May 31, 2012 or 30 days after your notice of assessed value was sent to you.
If I use iProtest to protest my taxes, what do I have to do?
First, enter your email and home addresses to see if available data supports a reduction in your tax assessed value. If so, iProtest will recommend you move forward and purchase an iReport. Then you’ll simply checkout, download your iReport and submit it to your county appraisal district. The whole process should take no more than 10 minutes.
My property tax assessment didn’t go up and I actually think it’s below market value. Should I still protest my property taxes?
Yes. A reduced assessment is not the same as a fair and equitable assessment. Due to weaknesses in the housing market and overall economy, many tax assessments will be held flat or go down this year. However, prudent homeownership calls for the completion of market sales comparison and uniform and equal analyses to determine the correct tax assessment for your home.
What is a uniform and equal analysis and how is it relevant to my property tax protest?
A uniform and equal analysis compares the assessed value of your property to the tax-assessed value of comparables properties throughout your neighborhood. If your home’s assessment is higher those of comparable properties, then you may have justification for a lower property assessment and tax bill.
If I protest my property tax assessment, will the value of my home go down?
No. The tax-assessed value of your home, which is used to calculate your property taxes, and the market value of your home, which is an indication of what you can sell it for on the open market, are not the same.
