Information

Many homeowners don’t know how their property taxes are assessed, and if the valuation they see is below current fair market value, they won’t question it. Taxpayers will be surprised to learn that an estimated 50% of all property in the U.S. is over-assessed, but less than 7-8% of people challenge those assessed values.

This is where you can be an incredible asset as a tax professional—the research skills and understanding of taxation that you already bring to the table means that with a little extra work you could save a client hundreds or thousands on their yearly tax bill.
