Nicole Marvin, Realtor, GRI

Lately I have been getting several calls and emails from clients asking about their property tax valuations. This year was a year for reappraisals and many homes seem to have been valued higher than what they should be, considering our current market conditions. So please take a look at your current value and make sure that it is in line with where it should be. I used to tell clients that their appraised amount from the county tax records was ten to twenty percent lower than the current market value. That is no longer the true. The value should be extremely close (within 5%) of the current market value. If it is too high, you will want to contact your county auditor’s office to get the property valuation reduced.
