SF Bay Home Appraisal Services

Tax Appeal Reports is one of our special services that we offer.

 Most likely as a home owner, you have received your 2009-2010 Notification of Assessed Value letter. And yes, most likely it went UP in value from last year's Assessed Value. As everyone knows the market has decline in value for the past 3 years. 

We offer Homeowners the possibility to LOWER your taxes on your home with our Tax Appeal Report service. Our service is a Flat Fee, for all single family homes and condo homeowners. It is NOT based on a "percentage" of money that we can save you on your taxes, like some of the other scammers out there. We do all the work for you including filling out all the required County and governmental forms. Our service makes it easy and convenient for you.

As an example of the money you can save: Say you bought your home as the market was going up in 2005 and paid $950,000 for your home. The County Assessors office is allowed  to raise your annual assessed tax value by 2% per year as per Proposition 13.

That would mean your current 2099-2010 tax assessed value on your home should be about $1,061,208 (after 4 years of 2% increases in Assessed Value). BUT since the market has been in a decline for the past 3 years and based on sales data for the past 3 years, your home should have loss about 25% in value depending on of course your location within Alameda County (some areas are higher than 25% and others are less than 25%).

So the home you bought in 2005 for $950,000 should be worth around $760,000 as of January 1, 2009. Now lets due the math. Using the tax rate from 2008-2009 tax year which was 1.0976% per $1,000 assessed valuation, your tax bill would be about $11,647.81 PLUS the "fixed cost" portion of your tax bill which is another $635, creating total tax bill of approximately $12,282.81.

Now calculating your tax bill based on the REAL value of your home at $760,000. The calculated tax bill should be around $8,348.11 or a

Savings of $3,934.70 in your pocket

That's almost a $4,000 in savings at a cost to you of only $250 for our service.
