LowerMyAssessment.com Aids HomeOwners with Problematic Property Taxes

People who are having problems on the proper assessment of their property taxes get a reprieve as LowerMyAssessment.com will make it easier for residential property owners to appeal inaccurate property tax assessments. Our mission is to empower homeowners by providing all of the necessary forms, valuation assistance and knowledge to maximize the chance for a successful outcome. We have created a user-friendly website that quickly and efficiently determines if an appeal of assessed value is in the property owner's best interest.

Due to current economic conditions, residential property values have declined in many areas, some significantly. The tax assessment cycle can take considerable time to adjust to current market conditions. As a result, many property owners pay more than their fair-share in property tax, sometimes for years. According to the National Taxpayers Union, only 1/3 of property tax appeals succeed. Obtaining costly appraisals, filling out numerous, complicated forms, and filing the appeal quickly enough to meet short deadlines discourages many taxpayers.

LowerMyAssessment.com takes the guesswork and expense out of filing your property tax assessment appeal.

LowerMyAssessment.com's proprietary FairValue Calculator guides site visitors to enter a property address and click "Check Your Value for Free". Within seconds the property's fair-market value is compared to the assessed value, determining if the property is fairly, over, or under-assessed. Qualified property owners register, answer several questions, and purchase our FairValue Report using our secure check-out. The report provides the completed forms required by their taxing authority and a market-approach valuation report. In most cases the client simply reviews, signs and mails the forms to their local assessor or board of equalization to obtain a review or hearing.

When every dollar counts, LowerMyAssessment.com helps homeowners save money. Property taxes are a major expenditure for most households; yet, unlike income and sales tax, most taxpayers have little understanding how they are calculated and what steps can be taken to minimize them. LowerMyAssessment.com helps homeowners take the important first steps towards a lower property tax bill.

LowerMyAssessment.com is honored to be chosen as one of the companies selected to present at the FinovateStartup09 conference on April 28 in San Francisco.
