Effectively Protest Your Property Value Classes

If your taxes are too high, it is likely because you missed the opportunity to protest your value last year and, unless there is an error on your account, it is too late to change that now (deadline to correct errors is January 31, 2012 for 2011 tax record errors).

There is a solution for 2012. Classes have already been scheduled throughout the County beginning in April on how to “Effectively Protest Your Appraised Value.” Techniques—not tricks—are the key along with a thorough understanding of the process. Classes are free, begin at 6 pm and generally run under two hours.
