Reply to comment by Unusual-Thanks-2959 in Is there anyone out there with success/experience in challenging property tax assessments? by Kooky_Deal9566

Was coming here to comment about the homestead tax credit. Not nearly enough people know about it and take advantage. Homeowners as well

My title company made sure I knew to do this. I'm surprised that so many people don't seem to get this information from their realtor or title company.

I closed in April of 2021. Due to backup, I didn't receive the application until October 2021, I applied. However, if I look up on REal Property Search, it says no application on file. Anyone know how long that takes to update correctly? Sent a message to the tax assessment office, but who knows if I will ever hear back.

My house was not accessed at the correct value for a long time - and now with this assessment I just got, its going up an additional 4k/year. They are assessing it now at the purchase price I paid (which I overpaid by about 50k) - which obviously is going to sting. Not sure how to contest it when its what I paid for it.
