[quote=pemeliza]Well I am still a little stunned but we have successfully negotiated the base tax assessment of our house down to the purchase price without going through a formal appeal.
It took patience and lots of it but we are quite relieved.
I am convinced that we ran into this problem because the house previously sold at the peak and had a sky high base tax value. Once the facts were out in the open they didn’t really have much to support their position.[/quote]
Hooray, pemeliza!!!!! 🙂
That’s fantastic news. Too bad they put you through all the stress in the first place. From what you had written, it sounded like they didn’t have a leg to stand on.
