I appealed a few years ago in person (pre-covid) and was successful. What they care about are recent closed comparable sales, not current "for sale" listings. Also verify that the description of your property in their system is correct, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, etc. Mine said I had a "super bath" whatever the f* that is, which it does not. Edited to add: If this is your primary residence, confirm you're signed up for the homestead tax credit, which limits the annual increase of the assessment. Homestead tax credit

Was coming here to comment about the homestead tax credit. Not nearly enough people know about it and take advantage. Homeowners as well

My title company made sure I knew to do this. I'm surprised that so many people don't seem to get this information from their realtor or title company.

I closed in April of 2021. Due to backup, I didn't receive the application until October 2021, I applied. However, if I look up on REal Property Search, it says no application on file. Anyone know how long that takes to update correctly? Sent a message to the tax assessment office, but who knows if I will ever hear back.
My house was not accessed at the correct value for a long time - and now with this assessment I just got, its going up an additional 4k/year. They are assessing it now at the purchase price I paid (which I overpaid by about 50k) - which obviously is going to sting. Not sure how to contest it when its what I paid for it.
