Is My Property Over-Assessed?
About 30-60% of properties are over-assessed. That means the county's estimate of your home's value — which determines your tax bill — is higher than it should be.
Signs Your Assessment Is Too High
- Your assessed value is higher than what similar homes recently sold for in your area.
- Your value jumped significantly in a single year.
- Neighboring properties with similar features have lower assessments.
- Your home has condition issues (needed repairs, outdated systems) that aren't reflected in the assessment.
Assessed Value vs. Market Value
Market value is what your home would sell for today. Assessed value is what the county thinks it's worth for tax purposes. These should be close, but counties often over-assess. That's where TaxDrop comes in.
Will Protesting Affect My Home's Sale Price?
No. A property tax protest affects only the county's assessed value for tax purposes. It has zero impact on your actual market value or what you could sell your home for.
