Strategies to Lower Your Property Tax Bill

It’s that time of year when property owners look towards paying that tax bill.  Your property tax bill includes payments for various things, other than property tax.  In addition to property tax, the bill includes charges for voter approved taxes and direct charges from taxing agencies. These charges are all specifically identified on one’s bill for property taxes.  A little-known fact is that these additional amounts sometimes will include various exemptions.  The most common is for senior citizens, defined as age sixty-five (65) or older.  Luckily for folks reaching this category, they can go through this list of charges and call the agencies listed and ask whether they, as seniors, are exempt from having to pay.  This administrative task can save you thousands of dollars.  Feel like delegating those calls?  Our team can help.
