When you get your property tax assessment in the mailbox, likely, you assume it’s correct. Right? The authorities are always right!

Of course NOT! Professionals tell us there is a good 50/50 chance real errors exist.

The National Taxpayers Union writes that as many as 60% of all homeowners are over-assessed and not in line with their home value. (“How To Fight Property Taxes” 2004 p.1)

Consumer Reports has published that property tax records show an error rate of 40% exists in estimating property taxes. (Nov.1992 v57 nil p.723)

48% Of All NJ Homeowners are Over-Assessed – reported in: easytaxfix.com/pdf/2012%20NJ%20Over-assessment%20White%20Paper.pdf (data obtained from the MOD4 and SR1A files maintained by New Jersey County Assessors).

Do you think that these over-assessment patterns might exist in other states?
