It’s Property Tax Reassesment Time: Avoid Scams

If you feel your property has declined in value over its assessed value, now is the time to apply to your county tax assessor for a reassessment to reduce the amount of property tax you will owe. In recent weeks, many Californians who bought homes in the peak years (usually 2005-2007) are getting lots of solicitations in the mail from companies who will get your house reassessed for a fee…sometimes in the hundreds of dollars. You don’t really need their services – it’s relatively easy and free to get it done yourself. Click Here to read an example, as reported by Emmet Pierce in the San Diego Union Tribune.
