Property taxes have been in the headlines for at least the last two years.  With high property taxes being at the forefront of the homeowners’ mind.  Realtors the state over are encouraging homeowners to file property tax appeals.

To help you determine if a property tax appeal is right for you, there is a recent article that I recommend you read at:

There are deadlines for filing; however, if you missed those deadlines it still may be benefical to talk directly with the treasurer’s office about temporary relieve.  In Lake County, Indiana, the homeowner can now make a six month payment arrangement instead of the three month payment arrangement.  Still yet, some homeowners and investor have spoken to the treasurer’s office and successfully gotten temporary reduction in their property taxes until their appeal is filed and heard before the board. 

In these economic hard times, it is imporant to ask for the help and not recive itthan not ask at all.
