Property Tax Appeal Checklist
Step-by-step checklist to prepare, file, and win your property tax appeal.
Step 1: Locate & Review Your Assessment Notice
Verify the county's assessed value for your property and recheck square footage, land acreage, bedroom/bathroom count, and property classification for any errors.
Step 2: Confirm the Filing Deadline
Select your state to reveal your exact deadline. Missing the deadline blocks your appeal for the entire tax year.
Step 3: Collect Comps Evidence
Identify 3 to 5 comparable properties within 0.5 miles that sold for less than your home's assessed value in the last 6-12 months. Take photos of any property damage (foundation cracks, roof leaks) to argue for condition adjustments.
Step 4: Prepare and Submit the Appeal Forms
Obtain the official county protest form. Check the necessary value assessment dispute boxes, attach your comparables report, and submit before the deadline.
Step 5: Attend the Informal Review & Hearing
Present your compiled evidence pack to the county appraiser at your informal meeting. If not resolved, present your sheets to the Appraisal Review Board during your 15-minute hearing.
