The Surprising Statistics
Having served on the Clackamas Board of Property Tax Appeals for several years, I've consistently been surprised by a striking statistic: less than 1% of property owners appeal their property taxes annually. This is particularly surprising given the financial impact of property taxes.
The Burden of Property Taxes
Did you know that local property taxes are the second largest check owners write to a government agency each year? Despite this significant financial obligation, many homeowners pay their property taxes without consulting a tax advisor. This is quite the contrast to the time and money spent on income tax consultation.
The Prevalence of Errors in Assessments
Nationally, it is estimated that 70% of property assessments are incorrect. More often than not, these errors favor the taxing authorities rather than the property owners. This underscores the importance of reviewing your tax assessment carefully.
