Assessed vs Market Value

Your county assigns an 'assessed value' to your home — that's what they tax you on. If it's higher than what your home is actually worth, you might be overpaying.

Assessed Value

Market Value (Zestimate)

Assessed Market

If the green bar (assessed) is bigger than the purple bar (market), you may be paying more than you should.

⚠️ You may be over-assessed — your assessed value exceeds the estimated market value. Consider filing an appeal.

Steps to Appeal

Check your assessment — Find your property tax bill or look it up on your county assessor's website. Make sure the details (sqft, bedrooms, lot size) are correct.
Gather evidence — Find recent sales of similar homes in your area that sold for less than your assessed value. Zillow, Redfin, or your county records can help.
File the appeal — Contact your county assessor's office. Most have a simple form. There's usually a deadline (often 30-90 days after your assessment notice).
Present your case — You'll either submit evidence by mail or attend a brief hearing. Bring your comparable sales data.
Wait for the decision — Typically takes 2-4 months. If approved, your new assessed value (and lower taxes) often apply retroactively.

Historical Assessment Trend

Property taxes tend to go up over time as your home's assessed value increases. Here's a rough estimate of how your taxes have grown.

📋 What You Can Do About Your Property Taxes

Check for errors — Make sure your county has the right square footage, bedrooms, and lot size. Mistakes are more common than you'd think.
Appeal if over-assessed — Use the estimator above to see potential savings. It's free to file in most counties.
Look into exemptions — Many states offer homestead exemptions, senior exemptions, or veteran exemptions that can reduce your bill.
Budget for increases — Taxes typically rise 2-3% per year. Plan ahead so it's not a surprise.
