Diane asked me to post her good news to the group:
She appealed to the county on her property tax evaluation, citing
falling property values and the number of unsold houses on our street.
The county dropped her house value to her suggested price, which will
mean a decrease in her taxes. The deadline for filing is April 1 each
year.

While I'm no expert, I would have to recommend that anyone wishing to
do this speak with a financial analyst first. As my realtor metioned
to me, decreasing the appraised value will save you some on taxes, but
it could also hurt you when trying to resell your home. Potential
buyers will see that the value has been decreased and this may effect
your final sale price.
