Why Homeowners Request an Independent Property Tax Review

Many homeowners request an assessment review after noticing a significant jump in tax value or receiving an unexpectedly high bill. If something seems off, getting a second opinion can lead to tax savings over time.

An independent review may help:

  • Lower your annual property tax bill
  • Avoid overpaying for school taxes
  • Ensure public records match your actual home
  • Support a fair and reasonable tax evaluation moving forward

Intown Appraisals LLC’s Property Tax Assessment Services

Tax assessments are often based on mass appraisal methods that don’t account for specific conditions or changes in your home. If the city’s valuation is too high, you may be paying more than you should in school and property taxes.

We provide:

  • A detailed review of the city’s current property records
  • A professional estimate of market value based on your home’s actual condition
  • Comparables from your neighborhood or area
  • Written reports that support a formal appeal
  • Guidance throughout the local appeal or review process

We equip you with the facts and analysis to present a strong case to your local tax authority.

What Triggers a Property Tax Reassessment?

A property tax reassessment can be triggered by a sale, major renovation, permit activity, or periodic citywide updates. Some municipalities reassess on a set schedule, while others reassess after ownership changes or additions, such as the installation of a new deck or a finished basement. If your home’s value has been reassessed, it’s a good time to review the numbers and compare them with current market conditions.

How Long Do You Have To File a Property Tax Dispute?

Deadlines vary by city or county, but most allow a limited window after receiving your annual tax notice, usually 30 to 90 days—Atlanta allows 45 days. Missing this deadline could delay your ability to challenge the value until the following year. We recommend reviewing your assessment as soon as your bill arrives to stay ahead of appeal dates.

What’s the Difference Between Market Value and Assessed Value?

Market value is what a buyer would reasonably pay for your home today. Assessed value is the number your local tax authority uses to calculate your property taxes. These values can differ significantly, especially when assessments are based on outdated records or general trends rather than individual property details. An accurate market review can highlight gaps between the two.
