Our client just saved $1300 on her property taxes!

We had a client that purchase a foreclosed 3unit property in 2009 for $250k. The county was still taxing her on the previous owners assessed tax value of $425k. So what we did was assist her to help her challenge the Los Angeles County Assessors office.

We gathered some comparable for-like properties that sold the same time her property sold and filled out the county tax appeal form. The only bad thing was that it took the county nine months to give her an appeal date. The good thing was that she won with the information we sent her with to the hearing. Her yearly taxes dropped by $1300 which now she can use that money to pay a bill or go on a trip. The county is also going to send her a check back for the past two years she has been over paying.

So take time to look at you taxes to see if you can save any money!
