About TaxesAppealer.com
Our Mission
Property tax appeals are one of the most underutilized tools available to homeowners in the United States. Studies consistently show that 30–60% of residential properties are over-assessed, yet fewer than 5% of homeowners ever file an appeal. The primary reason? The process is confusing, opaque, and varies wildly from county to county.
TaxesAppealer.com was built to change that. We are a free, public information utility that aggregates property tax appeal data for all 3,143 counties in the United States into a single, easy-to-use platform. Our goal is to democratize access to property tax appeal information and make the process as simple as possible.

How Property Tax Appeals Work
Every year, your local county assessor estimates the market value of your property and calculates your property tax bill based on local millage rates. If you believe your property has been over-assessed — meaning the assessed value is higher than the actual fair market value — you have the legal right to challenge that assessment through a formal appeal.
The general process involves:
- Reviewing your assessment notice — Check the assessed value against recent comparable sales in your neighborhood.
- Gathering evidence — Collect comparable sales data, photos of property condition issues, and any professional appraisals.
- Filing the appeal form — Submit the official appeal form to your county Board of Equalization or Board of Tax Assessors before the deadline.
- Attending a hearing — In most counties, you will have the opportunity to present your case at a formal or informal hearing.
- Receiving a decision — The board reviews your evidence and issues a revised assessment or upholds the original.
