Self or Managed? - Property Tax Protest (lemmy.world)

Never protested my taxes before. Has anybody here done this in the past by your self? Or have you delegated to one of these companies that protests on your behalf?

Seems the catch is with these companies is that they charge a % of what you supposedly save. But also wondering if the process is “easy” enough that I can get my own appraisal, present that during hearing, and be done with it.

Dunno if it's the same for y'all, but in my county, it's super easy, and I've done it almost every year. They've accepted it more times than not. Look into what you need to do, and it might be as simple as selecting a drop-down and uploading relevant documents.

Those companies usually have a clause that says they can't be held responsible if they fail to reduce your tax, so it's rarely beneficial for the average homeowner.
