The Deadline to File An Appeal of the Value Used to Establish 2009 Property Taxes is April 30, 2009The recent downturn in the real estate market has left many properties overvalued by assessors and, as a result, overtaxed. The deadline to file an appeal of the value used to establish 2009 property taxes is April 30, 2009. April 30 is rapidly approaching. Time is of the essence to appeal 2008 estimated market values. At Moss & Barnett, we can help you evaluate whether an appeal is appropriate, prepare the necessary filings, coordinate with valuation experts, negotiate with the assessor, and, if necessary, pursue the matter in court. We offer two methods of fee payment in connection with property tax appeals; namely (1) the traditional hourly rate approach, or (2) a method that allows you to pay a percentage of the tax savings. For further information regarding property tax appeals, visit the website of the city or county assessor where the subject property is located, the website of the Tax Court, or contact your attorney at Moss & Barnett.
