There is still time to appeal your property tax
• Can't hurt to make the call

Although the official deadline for appealing your property tax has passed, a local company continues to bring appeals before the county tax office with a 100% success rate. For a nominal one-time fee, Pat Kennedy of CORE Associates can help homeowners reduce the tax-assessed value of their homes, even if they’ve already paid this year’s tax.

Tax appeals in Broward are up nine percent over last year. Changes in state laws have made it easier to appeal your property tax and in these down economic times, word has it that Lori Parrish and the county’s Value Adjustment Board are being very fair with residents, lowering the tax on some properties by as much as 30 percent and more, Kennedy said.
Although for some, an appeal may not reduce this year’s property tax by all that much, Kennedy says payback comes next year and the year after.
“This is the first time home values have dropped since the great depression,” Kennedy said. “Who wants to pay more on property that’s worth less?”
To learn more or to appeal to your property tax, call Pat Kennedy at 954-822-3236 or visit the CORE website.
