I can help you.
Are you thinking of submitting a request for reassessment for your property taxes? If so, the deadline for submitting your application for 2008 reassessment is TODAY!
To help you, I will need:
* Street address - so we can choose properties in your immediate vicinity. We obviously can't compare the new houses in Bayport to vintage homes in the Gold Coast
* When did you buy your house, and for how much? Sometimes, this information is missing from the property profile I pull up
* When doing the comps, you will need to pick the properties that are the closest to yours in terms of type of building, bedrooms/ baths, square footage, age, style, location, and how much they sold for on specific dates.
It takes a bit of time. You're best served by talking with a realtor. If you don't have one helping you, contact me via my Trulia profile. I'll do my best to get this done today --- but your deadline is TODAY! You can fax your request or drop it off at the Tax Assessor's office.
The next property re-assessment isn’t due until July 2009 so if this one isn’t adjusted this year, you should go ahead and apply for re-assessment for the following tax period. Here’s the link again if you’d like to revisit the website for the Alameda County Tax Assessor’s office http://www.acgov.org/assessor/reassessments.htm
