How To Win Your California Property Tax Appeal

by J Wyatt

California Property Tax Appeal

Ok, I had finally had it with the property tax increases here in California. My taxes have been going up by insane amounts for the past six years. At this point, my husband and I could hardly afford the monthly payment

So I am writing this to tell you that WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Actually, we tried several things. First we filed a general appeal with the Assessor's Office. We waited for weeks only to be denied. We had to beg and plead just to get some kind of justification for my our assessed value was so high. How can the housing market be taking such a "hit" and our assessed value keep rising?

It made no sense at all. And before I go on, let me tell you that I don't live in some beach front, million dollar home. We live in a nice residental neighborhood that was feeling the effects that alot of people around the nation are feeling. Houses in our neighborhood were being sold for ten to fifteen percent less that what they were purchased for back in the late 1990's.

So after my California property tax appeal was unsuccessful, I just could not give up. What was happening was just not right and I wanted justice, or at least a break!

So I did some searching online, but I found few helpful resources. Honestly I just did not know what the next step i could take would be. I needed a guide, a reseource that could explain to me the next step of how to appeal further. I thought of the obvious path, a lawyer, but the costs of hiring an attorney would have far exceeded the increase in property taxes. I am all about winning my California property tax appeal, but not to the point I would actually lose money in the process.

So I came across a blog that had some helpful information on how the system works and how you can fight the system in these situations. I bought this ebook dirt cheap on how to win my California property tax appeal and decided it was worth the effort of my own to save some money since my California property tax appeal was denied unjustly!

I look at it this way, not only am I on a mission to save money NOW, but also save for future years once my assessed value is lowered. If you are in a similar situation and have been denied at every turn, get this book and you will be amazed at all of the options in front of you that your assessors office will never tell you about.

I was fortunate to have found this resource and lowered my assessed value over 6%, making my taxes go down by several hundred dollars. You can get your property taxes lowered NOW by clicking here.
