It is often difficult to determine the indication of needing to file a property tax appeal, but there are signs.

The following are a few good indication that a property tax appeal is necessary:

  • One indication is when the description of the property does not match.  An example of such an error is a town home being labeled as a single family home.
  • Another indication is when similar homes in the area sell for less than the assessed value.  Incidentally, most states, including Indiana, use market value or some variation of market value to determine the assessed value.
  • Still yet, another indication of a need for property tax appeal is changes in the environment.  Change in environment includes rezoning, heavy traffic, drainage problems, building of new industry, freeways, or toxic waste in the neighborhood.
  • Another indicating factor is the condition of the property.  If the property is environmental obscene.  The obscenity includes the roof needing replacement, inefficient heating, structural cracking, deterioration , and/or chronic defects.

It is important to not that every year is not an assessed year, but that does not preclude you from filing a property tax appeal.

It is equally important to note that any time an economy is plagued with foreclosures, short sales, and homeowners seeking bail out of homeownership are all good intentions that your property tax bill need a review and may be an appeal.
