The way property tax assessments are levied leave accuracy not addressed. Finding areas that reduce assessments allow for thousands of dollars in savings. The National Taxpayers Union has made the observation that as many as 60% of all homeowners are over-assessed.
Property tax consulting is about finding discrepancies in property values and challenging false assessments. Since the burden of proof falls on the individual homeowner, few have the time or the know-how to challenge their property taxes effectively. The need for a property tax consultant presents a great work at home opportunity.
Just about any homeowner or property manager can use the service and is a candidate for the service. Just about every homeowner will want to sign up. A few basic forms proving the reduced market value and follow up will pave your way to earning an amazing income.
The property tax consulting business is similar to that of accountants, appraisers, financial planners, doctors and lawyers in that a broad base of clients will bring you more business than you can handle. Just about everyone wants to save money on their property taxes.
If you win a $1,900 tax reduction your contingency fee is normally equal to the tax win. The way to set up your contract is to spread commission over a 2 or 3 year period. Also a small upfront fee can be charged for a basic analysis.
Something seems to have happened to the mind set of state and local governments. They are on a continuous spending binge. Recent national figures show higher payroll figures and larger budgets. This means continuous aggravation to the homeowner taxpayer by passing on large tax increases and makes for an easy selling proposition.
Every number of years, when property values on a town's record keeping tax role seem to get out of line, a municipal-wide appraisal is made. It's called a mass appraisal and usually is done every 7 to 15 years.
For the taxing authority to employ an appraiser would be too costly. A mass appraisal is determined by legal and budgetary decisions and each town has its own agenda. The lowest bid wins. The mass appraisers are contracted to view the properties front and back, which is commonly referred to as a walk-around appraisal.
The appraisal done by a blanket appraiser needs a hard look. Observations are recorded on a property record card. Sometimes only a drive by occurs where notes are taken if the property has changed since the last mass appraisal. Ask yourself how much scrutiny can be given to a property when the low bidder needs to make a profit on top of his $15 per home winning bid. Also, the information gathering personal hired may have questionable observation skills.
The homeowner needs help to check the blanket appraisers figure and to account for changes in market values. Because taxpaying homeowners are stressed for time and lack know how they need someone's help.
Unless government tightens its belt, higher taxes one way or another are inevitable. Until that happens, this work at home business service will be in high demand. As long as high taxes continue, the services of a property tax consultant will be eagerly sought. - 15790
