How to win property assessment appeal

Some Jackson County residents are worried about a steep increase in their property tax assessments.

I like how the government just gets to tell people what their house is worth. And how much taxes they owe and you just have to suck it

Here now in 2023 where Tax keep going up 3x every year, this is disgusting...

They should only put this on commercial property, like big stores, hospitals bulding club like that

In VA, localities are required by law to assess real estate at 100% FMV. An appeal on your assessment is not an appeal on higher taxes. You want the value of your home to be worth more than what you paid for it, not lower.
Localities will also have tax relief programs property owners can apply for.

it should be taxes on the land only for everyone same, not how much your houses is worth on the property

Cat, your last statement is incorrect. Improvements to one's property will not bring down the tax assessment, it will increase it.

Just another way to screw the average person over

Bought my house at $163, 000 10 years ago. It’s suddenly worth $250, 000. 🤷‍♂️. I’ve made no improvements. Just repairs on an ancient house that’s actively self destructing. Guess it’s all the Berkshire-Hathaway signs that surround us in houses that remain vacant for 2 years so far.

Didn't really provide much helpful information.

I thought it was against the law to increase property taxes by more than 5%? Is that just certain states?

Most Cities are trying to get more Money from you because your 1% are dodging their tax responsibilities. Only the Working Class are paying taxes. Secondly, once they take your home from you it’s auctioned off to a “Private Equity” group and you now become a renter! The good ol’ American Dream. 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

You rent from the government. Period. I would love to tear down an old, looks like a horse stall and replace it but am afraid of my txs going up.they go up at least 30 every yr.

Even worse now. Only going to get worse. Let’s go Brandon.
