Reassessment Winners

In 2008, all residential & commercial property owners were assigned a "tentative" assessment. Residents that challenged their "tentative" assessment were almost always given a minimum reduction of at least $1,000. In sales terminology, this is called overcoming objections. If you did not challenge your assessment, your "tentative" assessment became your "final" assessment.

Your assessment would determine your property and school taxes for years. If you felt your assessment was too low, human nature would be to keep quite and leave your money in the bank.

But what happens when a town elected official's assessment is so low it would cause an uproar? You raise the elected official's assessment! Here is proof.
