Cash is King! How to Reduce Your Property Taxes - March 2nd Webinar

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Cash is King!
How to Reduce Your Real Estate Tax Bills

March 2, 2010
Noon – 1:00pm

Property taxes are one of the most significant expenses associated with property ownership, and they regularly increase. Many owners are unaware that in each state and county, there is a legal right to challenge property valuation, which can result in a reduction of your taxes and, in some cases, a refund of taxes already paid.

Due to the economic downturn, most property values have declined.  Thus, many taxpayers have the opportunity to appeal the valuation of their properties and potentially reduce their real estate tax bills.

What you will learn:

• Learn how real property taxes are calculated and how to asses opportunities for tax reductions
• Identify key dates and the timeline associated with contesting property values in Ohio
• Understand the appeals process and key documentation/support required
