Best Answer

While you can't lower your property tax directly, every taxing district in the U.S. and Canada has a property tax appeal process where the assessed value may be lowered. A lower assessment means a lower tax bill. Mathematically the assessed value is multiplied by the tax rate set by the taxing district to equal the tax amount. There are specific times when new assessments can be appealed, so check with your local assessor about when new assessments are issued and the deadline for filing appeals.
