Comments on: Homeowners See Property Taxes Rise as Property Values Sink http://blog.fsbo.com/homeowners-see-property-taxes-rise-as-property-values-sink/ Buy & Sell Real Estate - For Sale By Owner Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:46:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Jonathan Weber http://blog.fsbo.com/homeowners-see-property-taxes-rise-as-property-values-sink/#comment-13241 Jonathan Weber Sun, 29 Mar 2009 04:56:06 +0000 http://blog.fsbo.com/?p=89#comment-13241 It's a great idea to do this, and most counties have a deadline to submit the application for a re-valuation of your home. Since many homes in many neighborhoods around the U.S. are in foreclosure, and thus not paying real estate taxes, this poses an unfair tax increase for other people in that neighborhood who are actually paying their mortgage. The only decent way to fight back is to challenge the assessor's office and submit a complaint. See your local county website and check for the deadline sooner than later. You can do this by going to google and typing in "county assessor office YOUR CITY, YOUR STATE and pressing 'search'. Many people that I have helped <a href="http://www.easyprofsbo.com" rel="nofollow">Sell By Owner</a> have mentioned that they need to sell their property because of the increase in taxes. This makes it very hard for many Americans to afford their mortgage, insurance, and taxes every month. This is unfortunate because a slight bump in taxes, over a few months, can, in worst case scenarios, lead to people losing their homes. Take this chance to get your taxes back to an affordable number ASAP as this might save you from losing your home, facing foreclosure, or being forced into a short-sale situation.
