Many property owners can relate the value of their property to the assessed value; however, very few know whether their property is equitably assessed in comparison to similar properties within the area.
The value may be reasonable but your property may be over-assessed in comparison to similar, or competing properties.
Most property owners are also not be aware that they are entitled to the lower of either the market value, or the equitable value, of their property. Our professional review service will provide peace of mind that your property has the lowest assessed value possible and is correctly classified.
