Ann Arbor Real Estate Community, it is TIME TO APPEAL YOUR PROPERTY TAXES! Starting your Property Tax Appeal....... Your appeal starts when you rip open the envelope that contains your Notice of Assessment. The Notice of Assessment will contain last year's SEV and Taxable Value and a Proposed SEV and Taxable Value for 2009. You probably see that your SEV has gone down- except if you bought your home in 2008, in which case the "Pop Up" tax will have equalized your SEV and Taxable Value at current values. If you beleive your proposed SEV exceeds 50% of the value of your home as of the end of last year, you should consider appealing your assessment. You then contact the assesor of your City or township to see if they have any procedure in place that you must follow before filing your appeal with the Board of Review. If there is a pre-Board of Review procedure, obtain any necessary forms and note down any other requirements that may have with respect to Pre- Board of review proceedings. You should also ask your Assesor for a copy of your homes assesment card. Look carefully for inaccuracies. To GET THE FORMS YOU NEED AS WELL AS A GUIDE TO FILING YOUR APPEAL, YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE ME EMAIL YOU THE COMPLETE Package that includes VALUEABLE INFORMATION and STEP BY STEP Documents.......
