You may then select the properties that you think are most comparable to yours. You should consider size and ages of the properties, closeness to yours,
lot areas, number of bedrooms, garage sizes and other factors that you consider important. Changing the selected comparables will revise the estimated savings to your current Tax bill.

comparable properties to determine if your property’s assessed value is too high or too low. Therefore, select the comparables
carefully.

value such as improvements that you have made and current land value. You may also show items that make your property less
valuable than neighboring properties. For example, mid-block
properties are less valuable than corner properties.
