Abatement time on your property taxes

Property valuies have dropped nearly 20% in the past two years, as if you needed me to tell you that. Well, Fiscal Year 2009 property tax abatement forms are due by February 2nd and take a peek at the value that they are charging you taxes on. Properties are valued as of the previous January 1st (January 1, 2008, for FY2009), and the values reflect the market that existed at that time. Since the values have decreased since that date a property tax abatement could save you a few hundred dollars.

Contact me by email bobbiefiles@kw.com and I can send you the abatement form.

I also can assist you by emailing you comparable homes to yours that sold in the past 12 months to support the right to the abatement.
