Is your property over-assessed? It's time to ask for a property tax reduction.

Cuyahoga County had its regular property assessment in 2006. Many of us homeowners in Cuyahoga County were not happy with new property taxes. The timing was not perfect, as property tax increase came along with sub-prime crisis, growth of foreclosure rate and market price adjustment of 2007. Many homeowners notice that assessed value is much higher than possible market value of their homes. There is a way to reduce your taxes if you file a complaint with Cuyahoga County before the end of the day of March 31, 2008. You may find all the forms and information about the procedure at the web site of Cuyahoga County Board of Revision http://bor.cuyahogacounty.us/.

Many of our local properties are assessed too high or low. With the current housing market, assessed values are probably even more inaccurate than usual.
