How I Saved Thousands by Appealing a Maryland Property Tax Assessment in 2023
Abstract
Starting the Assessment Appeal Process The appeal process is straightforward and you have 45 days to file a formal appeal. At the start, I wasn't sure if I wanted to file an appeal but you can ask for the documents without filing an appeal. Yes you can appeal on those grounds and your argument for grade classification will be considered by the Assessor. The Final Notice of Assessment showed us the Appealed Value, or what the county would've considered our market value had we not appealed. We had a reduction of 10.86% off the Appealed Value! If you recall from earlier, I appealed based on the Quality Factor and that's a calculation on the dwelling alone. In the Appealed Value and Final Market Value, our Land value did not change. Have you appealed a property tax assessment? What happened?
