Appealing your property tax appraisal may result in big savings.
Property taxes are based on the assessed value of your property, but that value isn’t always accurate. If your residential or commercial property in the Chicago, Illinois area has been overvalued, you may be paying more than your fair share of taxes. The good news is that our team at Second City Appraisal can help you with a property tax appraisal appeal.
We have more than 25 years of experience in the industry and Andrew has been an MAI member of the Appraisal Institute for more than a decade. Among our many services, we specialize in assisting property owners with challenging inaccurate assessments in an effort to lower their tax burden. Many people are unaware they have the right to an appeal, or they believe the process is too cumbersome. In actuality, with the correct knowledge, appealing your property’s assessment can be simple and effective.
As part of the property tax appraisal appeal process, we start by looking at your property’s current assessment and comparing it to market data, previous sales, and property conditions. If we discover discrepancies—such as overvaluation, wrong property facts, or unequal comparisons—we will provide a compelling case on your behalf. You can rest assured that our team will handle the research, paperwork, and communication required to make a persuasive case.
Working with us has several advantages, including our knowledge of navigating local tax systems. We understand the timeframes, filing requirements, and evidence required to support a successful property tax appraisal appeal. This allows us to streamline the process and increase your chances of a successful conclusion.
Whether you are a homeowner, real estate investor, or company owner, we are here to advocate for you. Contact us today to learn more.
