A hot little tip:
As you may or may not have noticed our property tax just doubled. Lovely, right??
I spoke with my neighbor, who is also a friend of mine who's major is in real estate and property management. If you have been watching your mail carefully you may have noticed that Pinal County mailed out an assessment of our properties to explain how the taxes went up so dramatically. My friend, Jenn, said that because Pinal County's assessment records are so far behind they haven't taken into account the market crash just yet.
So, they are figuring all our values about $60,00 dollars more than they are actually at!!!!Please, everyone call and ask for an appeal form. These need to be turned in by the 20th of April. Pinal County will send out a property assessor and evaluate your property(s) for what they are actaully worth. Because the system is so off (it's all automated), the county will adjust your taxes appropriately and you will be able to re sum your smaller tax payments, and hopefully they can fix the problem.
Please pay attention to this or you will have to pay $2500( a year, or more!) out of -pocket when a simple phone call and some research could save you alot money and alot of hassle!!!! So stop the panic, its all just a misunderstanding!
Good luck!
