Could you give examples of these appeals and throw out some arbitrary numbers on these tax cuts?
Examples of your experience?
I’m genuinely curious and want to do some research.
the last part of your post says, “just know what you are doing and be ready”
I get what you’re saying. I really do.
most ppl are clueless tho. It’s so many older ppl losing houses where I’m from, because they don’t know about gov’t programs or tax breaks. shyt is fukked up. It’s kinda like the ppl that do know, are telling them to grip their bootstraps and pull themselves up.
Most people just want to complain to get things done, see how the person who responded to you didn't even want you to gain knowledge? smh, you gotta feel bad for our future. the market depends on how much someone is willing to pay for your property or similar properties like that. so it doesn't matter if it's a corporation (which is also a legal person) or an average joe.... whatever they say they will pay = fair market value. you can't just say "that's out of most people's price range so it's not real" lmao. you sound remedial. just like if you were selling your house and a company wanted to buy it.... you think as a homeowner these people are going to say "no Mr. Company, the average joe can't compete with you so I will not sell you my home for double what i'm asking". that's ridiculous. the homeowners is going to tell the next bidder, "hey i got mr. corporate over here bidding 1M, either meet it or lose out". it may not be fair to a little guy, but that's a valid market.
not everybody can afford a tesla stock, that doesn't mean it's an "artifical price"
if you look up the actual definition of "fair market value" the definition is basically what buyers/sellers are willing to pay/sell ... it's not based on feelings lol.
but anyway, lesson number two. on my appeal, i had valid reasons why my property value didn't increase even though other houses near me did.... i have a real shytty neighbor who is a nuisance and a blight (it's actually a company that owns the property too). I took pictures, sent estimates of damage (like how much i would have to pay for extra landscaping because their kudzu weeds took over my yards and fence, how everytime it rains, their dirt ends up pooled in my driveway, etc.), etc and argued that it lowered my property value living next to them. it's all about showing values. like if you sell a car, you gonna look at the interior, mileage, check the carfax. etc... it's basically the same thing with home valuations.
also aside from pointing out things about the value of your house, you can also point out values of other similar houses. go to a source like zillow or the tax office and pull a few recently sold "comparables" to show what the market is going for. if the market is selling high, then you are just going to have to rely on something that makes your specific house different from the market.
