Has anyone ever appealed their property tax assessment? I appealed mine and it was denied. Tomorrow is the hearing. I'm curious to know what to expect from anyone who has done this. I had an appraisal done in Nov, 2011 that came in about $55k less than the county appraised value (Fulton County, GA). I really don't see how a board that has never seen my house or been inside it can say that it's assessment of value is more accurate than a professional appraisal who walked through the house, the lot, compared comps in the neighborhood etc. I get the feeling this is a blanket denial system but I intend to fight this as I don't see how they can justify their number. Any suggestions? If I'm going to waste my day tomorrow I'd like to be successul in the appeal or if that isn't going to happen, at least have some fun with this.
