Well, I just received my new assessment, and it looks like my property value went up 20%. Except, it didn’t. If you are in the same boat, here is a simple step by step process to protest it. I can’t guarantee it will work. In most cases, it is worth a shot.
First off, here is the full process: http://web.assess.co.polk.ia.us/cgi-bin/web/tt/infoqry.cgi?tt=aboutus/protest
Within that process you need one thing I can give you: proof. If you are looking to protest your new assessment, just let me know and I will run numbers for you. I will caveat that a lot of houses have gone up in value by quite a bit. So you might find out your house really is worth that amount on the open market. I will give you what your house is really worth.
I am also happy to do this any time. If you have been thinking about selling, the market needs inventory. We are still very low on houses to sell. That is actually what is continuing to push prices up.
If you are looking to buy, things have become much more normal. No more competing with 20 other people for one property.
Let me know how I can help.
As always, I love doing what I do. I love looking at the market, and I love building relationships with the people I get to help. Let me know how I can help you. Call me today. You can reach me at 515.639.0047 or RyanLynch@KW.com. I am good at what I do, and I want to help you.
