INTRODUCTION
Of all the taxes you pay, probably none delivers more tangible benefits than the property tax you send to your city, town, or county. Real estate taxes are the lifeblood of local governments, accounting for some three quarters of their budgets for schools, sanitation, parks, and public safety--in short, for just about everything that makes the quality of life in your community what it is. But even if you're satisfied with what your property-tax dollar buys, you should not have to pay more than your fair share.
Your local tax office computes your annual property-tax bill by multiplying the local tax rate by the assessor's estimate of what your home and the lot it sits on are worth. The rate is set by your community's elected officials and applies equally to everyone. However, if you pay substantially more than your neighbors do or if your locality hasn't had a general property revaluation in several years, your tax assessment may be too high.
