You have two options with a property tax appeal!
Option 
Do-It-Yourself
Some property owners choose to go about the tax appeal process on their own. However, know that tax appeals require three things:
- MLS, Costar Database – That gives you access to reliable comps that can be adjusted.
- Time – Approximately 4 hours are required to identify and adjust the required sales comps. In addition, add another 4 hours for your court appearance.
- Expertise – The county appraisers contest tax appeals for a living. They are experts. That is why you really need an expert on your side!
Option
