Your Burden to Prove

If you’re considering appealing your property taxes, you need to understand that your property taxes cannot be reduced directly. Instead, the way your taxes are reduced is by reducing the value at which your property is assessed. What this means is that you, as a taxpayer, have the burden to prove that the assessed value of your home or property is unreasonable compared to the appropriate market value standard. By law, your current assessment on your home is presumed to be correct. So you, as a taxpayer, have the burden to prove that it’s unreasonable.
