Challenge your property taxes with a comprehensive appraisal.
A property tax appraisal, or a tax assessment, involves determining the taxable value of a property to calculate what you should pay every year in property taxes. These appraisals must be done by a certified, impartial third party who can provide an idea of what the property is worth without outside influence.
At Second City Appraisal, we can conduct your property tax appraisal. Many of our clients in Chicago, Illinois turn to us to challenge the results of their property tax assessments, trying to lower their tax burden for the year. When we conduct your property tax appraisal, there are a few things we will look at:
- What your property would likely sell for in current market conditions.
- The characteristics of the property, including the square footage, any improvements, additions, and overall condition.
- Any comparable and recent sales that happened in the area.
We will compile our findings into a comprehensive report you can present to the county tax assessor to bolster your case. Our appraisals are reliable, thorough, and designed to help you support your goal of lowering your annual property tax rate.
We recommend turning to us for a property tax appraisal when you receive your annual tax assessment notice, when buying or selling property, when appealing your property taxes, or during new construction or after major renovations.
