Property Tax Appeal Calculator
Estimate your potential property tax savings if you successfully appeal your home's assessed value using comparable sales data.
Potential Tax Savings
Property tax appeals can save you money if your home is assessed for more than it’s actually worth.
Annual Savings = (Current Assessment - Target Assessment) × (Tax Rate / 100)
When to appeal:
- Your assessment increased significantly
- Comparable homes sold for less than your assessed value
- Your home has issues (damage, poor location factors) not reflected in the assessment
How to find comparable values:
- Look up recent sales of similar homes within 1 mile
- Compare square footage, bedrooms, lot size, age, and condition
- Average the comparable values for your target assessment
Success rates: Property tax appeals succeed 30-40% of the time, with average savings of $100-$500/year.
Tip: Appeal filing is usually free or costs under $50. The potential savings make it worth trying.
