At this time of year, we get a lot of questions about property taxes—especially because, in our area, they’re paid in arrears.

The matter of assessed value also tends to raise a few eyebrows. In short, the assessed value is (on average) about a third of your home’s market value after exemptions such as the owner-occupied exemption ($6,000), the homestead exemption ($5,000), and the “senior freeze” exemption, among others. We’d be happy to discuss these exemptions in greater depth if you have any questions.

The best way to understand what exemptions you qualify for and how they will impact your home’s assessed value (and its taxes) is to partner with an experienced and knowledgeable real estate expert.

All of our team’s buyer specialists have been trained on this subject and would be happy to speak with you. So, if you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call, send us an email, or visit our website. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
