I feel for y'all. Not a single tax levy went down to defeat in Colorado this year.
One thing that has been successful for us in the past in other states is challenging the county's assessment with independent appraisals. If you've refinanced lately, you may already have the appraisal completed. If not, it still might be worth a few hundred dollars for an independent appraisal. However, get some local advice to see how likely this is to reduce your taxes before hiring an appraiser. It's worked for us every time in the past because the county does not put much effort into estimating property values and does not bother to argue with independent appraisals. Appraisals that are good enough for a bank to loan money against usually hold water for other legal purposes also. |

Is it a value or rate increase that is the cause? I never paid attention when living in LC because it wasn't enough to matter. Since I moved to Texas, I watch it much closer. My property taxes are right at $8k/year. The values do fluctuate annually and we can debate the county assessment. I have done so 3 times in 10 years and won each time by pulling some comps of nearby homes that sold in recent months and using the price/sq ft and comparing the actual sales to the county assessment. The county assessed values over here are usually very much over inflated from reality.
