Do you live in Marcus Hook PA? Are paying too much in Real Estate Taxes? I can help! In many cases homeowners in Marcus Hook are paying too much in property taxes. This occurs for many reasons. The county may have assessed your property many years ago and property values may have fallen since then. Also, home sales on particular streets or neighborhoods can move property valuations and create incorrect assessments. In addition, overall home sales data in the county is tabulated by the state every year and is used to recalculate the ratio between assessments and fair market values. However, county trends may not be consistent with local trends in property values. This can cause the assessed value of your home to be inconsistent with its fair market value. This lack of uniformity gives you legal grounds to get your assessment reduced and lower your tax burden.
I have years of expertise in analyzing all these factors and determining whether you are overpaying in real estate taxes. Working with my professional real estate consultants, I can provide an accurate evaluation of your individual situation and recommend whether you should appeal your assessment.
I have found that, in Marcus Hook, taxes are often not commensurate with the market values of homes. This is causing many homeowners to pay too much real estate tax, and to have much difficulty in selling their homes.
In order to file a tax appeal, you must first qualify! To see if you qualify please enter the information below. This is completely free.
The evaluation is the first step in the process. You cannot just assume you deserve a real estate tax reduction. You must determine whether or not you qualify. You determine this by looking at the comparable home sales in your neighborhood to determine estimated value for your property (not sales price). Once we determine the estimated value of your home, we apply a formula based on factors that change every year. Then we can determine whether you are overpaying based on your current assessment, and determine what your actual real estate tax should be.
When we determine that you qualify then we must file an appeal with the county and file the proper paperwork and minimal fee (all counties have their own deadline but most are August 1) to have a hearing with the county board of assessment. Usually, the hearing will be in September or October. In most cases, we will have a decision from the board around mid-November.
