Property Taxes

Property taxes
How do property taxes work?
Where can I learn more about appealing my property taxes?

Property taxes
Property taxes are what most homeowners in the United States pay for the privilege of owning real estate, on average 1.5% of the property's current market value. These annual local assessments by county or local authorities help pay for public services and are calculated using a variety of formulas.

Property taxes on all real estate are fully deductible against current income taxes. If you itemize, you may also deduct property taxes on a second home.

If you feel that your current property tax assessment is incorrect, you must contact your local tax assessor's office to find out what procedures should be followed to appeal your tax assessment.
