Appealing Your Property Assessment
By law, the Assessor's value on your property is presumed to be correct. The presumption can be overcome only by presentation of clear, cogent, and convincing evidence, which is evidence showing that it is highly probably that the Assessor made a mistake. To PROVE your case, present sales of properties that are similar to yours. The sales should be as close to the Assessment date as possible.
