It will be interesting to see if this “change” has any teeth. Chances are there will be little, if any difference.

It’s not just you. There is a contradiction. The fuzzy language is the work of lobbyists who are engaged by government assessors, and legislative staff.

Comment on Georgia Moratorium On Property Tax Assessment Increases by Patrick Anderson

Patrick Anderson — Mon, 25 May 2009 17:29:07 +0000

A good law enacted about two years after it was originally needed. Glynn County, GA has found 160 neighborhoods deserving of increases for 2009, and only 100 deserving of decreases. All during “a crisis in the reduction of value of tangible proerty of unprecendented magnitude” according to the Georgia Legislature. We presume the 160 neighborhoods will not receive the increases, but there will be many who are increased due to a massive effort to re-measure buildings for the 2009 assessment.

Question: a bank forcloses on property and wins a judment bid for their interest in the property, which was purchased for 97,000….but the judgment bid is $137,000 including their “interest in the property”…..would it be fair for the tax assessor to then revalue for tax purposes based on the judgment bid…..while dozens of similar properties are still assessed at appr. 97-99,000….thanks

Comment on The Current Property Tax Appeal Environment by Lloyd A. Bettis

Lloyd A. Bettis — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:48:03 +0000

The NJ jurisdictions comment about how they are willing to sit down and talk to the tax payers about resolving the assessments now that an appeal has been filed. This certainly makes sense rather than to have the case drawn out for a year or more in tax court with great expense to both the taxpayer and the jurisdicition in appraisal, legal and consultant fees. A better scenario is for the jurisdicition and taxpayer to attempt to resolve assessment differences prior to the filing of an appeal. This approach is often successful in NJ. When it doesn’t work, the filing of an appeal is the only option left for the corporate tax payer.
