Overstated market value, incorrect property characteristics (square footage, condition), unequal assessment compared to similar homes, or missed exemptions.

What evidence helps win a property tax appeal?

Recent comparable sales, a professional appraisal, photos/repair estimates, prior-year assessments, and a clear value argument tied to market data.
