I get this question all the time, so I thought I would share what I normally tell people. Many have gotten their taxes reduced using one of more of these suggestions.
1) Go to or contact the town or city department that handles this issue and find out the process they require.
2) Check the assessor’s information for mistakes
3) Examine the assessment of other homes in your neighborhood and see how they compare to your home
4) Compare recent sales. A Realtor may be willing to assist you in getting good comparable sales
5) Get an appraisal
6) Prepare your case. No agency will be willing to make a change without good evidence.
