Property taxes are significant expenses for business and individuals. If the value of the property was unfairly overstated during the valuation, you will have to pay more taxes for it. In this case, you need to contact a lawyer to eliminate this injustice and save on taxes.
With the help of a lawyer, it is possible to achieve a revision of the tax on commercial, residential, or industrial real estate. It is very difficult to understand all the intricacies of real estate tax legislation on your own. Therefore, it is better to contact a lawyer if you want to pay a real, non-inflated amount of tax on your property.
Many taxpayers in the United States do not even realize that they pay more taxes than necessary. If you want to make sure you pay a fair amount, contact a lawyer. If necessary, it will be possible to file a complaint and obtain a revision of the amount of taxation.
First of all, you will need to evaluate your property. An independent certified appraiser will be able to name the real value by comparing your property with similar properties in the area.
If it turns out that the amount of tax has indeed been overstated, you can submit documents to the Tax Appeals Board of the district in which your property is located. After that, a date will be set for hearing the arguments. You do not have to attend the hearing, a lawyer will speak on your behalf.
Tenants can also contact a lawyer if, according to the lease agreement, they must pay tax on the real estate they rent. This can help you avoid unnecessary financial expenses.
