Sacramento Taxpayers at Risk of Paying Hundreds of Dollars in Excess Property Taxes

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 22, 2008 -
SACRAMENTO – Sacramento homeowners may want to take a moment before they make their next property tax payment and visit the free value estimator at Sacramento Tax Relief’s website at www.sacramentotaxrelief.com. The one-minute evaluation can be the difference between wasting hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars on excess property taxes for a home that has declined in value.

While the fallout from the housing crisis continues to roll through Sacramento, county assessors have not been able to keep up with all of the changing house values. The fact is many Sacramento homeowners may be paying property taxes on last year’s high valuations despite the fact the property has declined in value. Even with the tax controls granted under Proposition 13, homeowners may still be paying too much to the county assessors office.

“Homeowners could be throwing away hundreds of dollars in excess property taxes because of incorrect market value assessments,” said Mike Linville, owner of Sacramento Tax Relief. “While a homeowner might know that their home has gone down in value, proving it to the assessors office is another matter. Worst of all the time is quickly running out to make the changes by the end of November.”

Sacramento Tax Relief affordably takes the hassle out of the revaluation process. A process homeowners should not have to struggle with, proving a Proposition 8 allowed temporary decline in value to the assessor’s office requires the hassle of filling out the paperwork, price comparisons to other properties, a licensed Realtor’s® opinion and the time necessary to drop it all off and follow-up on the process.

“It’s a real headache,” Linville said. “We make it easy and very affordable at only $69 – with a money back guarantee!”

Linville’s firm handles the entire revaluation process including a free estimate of savings, a complete professional property valuation by a licensed area Realtor®, time saving preparation of all of the required government paperwork and supporting documentation and they even submit the package to the assessors office for you saving gas and time driving.

The results have been outstanding for some local residents. According to Linville, one delighted customer was able to save $800 while another got $900 in excess taxes eliminated from her bill. Even one customer that had their taxes reduced recently by the county saved an additional $1500 by using the service.

“We believe in paying our fair share of property taxes,” Linville said. “But if your home has gone down in value due to the market conditions, why should you overpay them?”
