Yes, you can have your Real Estate Property Taxes reduced!
Hopefully, these cute little dogs got your attention. This is important so read on.
Property taxes are something that you have control over. I wrote about this last year September 2007, Property Taxes-Something for Homeowners to Consider and again in May of this year, Cut Your Property Taxes, April of 2008 Money in the Pocket of Placer County Homeowners.
This week, I received an email from a neighbor of mine who talked about a story on Channel 13 regarding Proposition 8, reducing property taxes.
Obviously, he doesn't read my blog! But, it did remind me that there are probably a lot of you who may be new to reading Sacramento Real Estate Voice and may have missed these great real estate savings tips. I try very hard to bring you the best, real estate tips and advice possible in hopes to help each and every home buyer, homeowner and renters in and around the Sacramento and surrounding areas.
I have home buyers and homeowners in Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Auburn, Granite Bay, Midtown Sacramento, East Sacramento, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Natomas, Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills and West Sacramento. The real estate tips I offer are for each and everyone of you and they can save a lot of money.

When you click on the previous articles above that I wrote to help you reduce your real estate property taxes, there will be forms for you to fill out. You can either mail or drop off your form to the Tax Assessor's office in the County where you live.
The part that you might not quite understand is that when your taxes are evaluated by the Tax Assessor, it will be based upon a value date as of January 1, 2008. Even if the values have continued to plummet, the value will only be as of January 1, 2008.
It's important to hurry up and get your form in before the taxes are sent out. You will need to pay the current amount for your taxes and when your taxes are reduced, you will receive a refund.
Don't forget to do it again next year. Hope this helps all of you and that you are reading this...for the fourth time! Maybe the dogs wagging their tail got your attention this time.
Obviously, the reason that homeowners will be able to have their real estate property taxes reduced is due to all of the Foreclosures and REO's. As long as we continue to have foreclosed property, prices will continue to fall.
I don't hold a lot of hope for the modification program that is being thrown around simply because of all the standards that must be met in order to qualify. Unless those standards are changed, there will be few that will meet the qualifications.
I did hear that over the holidays, the banks will not be sending their Foreclosure notices to homeowners. This is their way of saying, Happy Holidays! Hope everyone gets to enjoy the holidays...

Great eye catcher for a serious post. Property taxes in Texas are a source of conflict pretty much all the time and it does not seem to ever be handled from the official end in a manner befitting the Taxing Authority but then again what can we expect. I actually help clients dispute their Tax appraisals here in Austin and lately it's been a bit easier because the most recent head of the dept. stepped down and a more reasonable person is now running the show but it is still a hard proposition at times. I often help clients with whom I have previously done business for free and charge a % to others of any savings my efforts help incur!. This is an excellent soy on the subject for your area and I hope that it gets the attention it deserves!
Great information about lowering your property taxbill. So many do not know how to go about getting it lowered.
Gina, Great information for your Sacramento home owners. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I love those little dogs. I need to learn how to get animations to work.
Russell, yes it is a serious issue and one that I have written about several times in hopes to help the consumer realize that they do have a voice and can get their assessed values changed. Hopefully, I reached a few more homeowners who can take advantage of reducing their property taxes.
Sharon, I think it is our job to bring this to the homeowners along with the forms that they otherwise might have missed.
Marchel, this would be good for most of the States to help the homeowners reduce their property taxes. Although I certainly am not aware of how each State works, I think we have an obligation to help the homeowners in each of our States to reduce their property taxes.
Hope this time the dogs wagging their tails caught some of their eyes to a very important issue.
The dogs got my attention.
It makes a lot of sense in today's market to look at reducing the tax base if you bought in the last several years.
