What choo talkin bout Willis?
Well, let me splain Lucy, lol. The title to my rant blog came to mind a couple days ago when I noticed how so many people were still paying monstrous amounts of property taxes.
I remembered about how Ronald Reagan stood up to Gorby and asked for the Berlin wall to be torn down. Who knows if the Berlin Wall would of been torn down if he would not have asked.
Brings me to my point at hand. There are too many things in life that don't get taken care of if no one stands up and says something about it. "Ask and you shall receive" goes the verse in the bible.
My friends ....PLEASE ASK FOR YOUR PROPERTY TAXES TO BE REDUCED!
During the peak of our last real estate cycle, here in California and the rest of the United States, property taxes were monstrously high for people just getting into a home or some type of transaction that triggered the re-assessment of property taxes. Counties across the nation were loving the increase to their tax roll. Do you think they want to give up those taxes that easily? Hells no they don't!
Unless you have been in a cave with Osama Bin Laden since 2001 you know that property values have plummeted across the nation. If you live in state that allows you to appeal your property taxes then by all means get up and do it.
I don't know about you but I hate paying taxes.
So Winston, how do I appeal my property taxes to have them reduced or re-assessed??
I found some great instructional videos showing you step by step on how to appeal your property taxes and get your property re-assessed. These videos were created by the California State Board of Equalization. Doesn't matter if you live in California or any of the other 49 states. You can still learn what you have to do to prepare yourself for that battle with the tax man.
CLICK HERE for the free and easy instructional videos from the state of California.
These videos walk you through the process of preparing and presenting your Assessment Appeal of your Property Tax Assessment at your county Board of Equalization or Assessment Appeals Board.
PAY LESS TAXES MY FRIENDS!!
