I did a quick search, and didn't find any threads on this topic.

Everyone should have gotten their 2014 Property Assessment by now. I just got mine last night. I was surprised to see that my assessed value is $90,000 more than what we paid for the house in December 2013.

I plan on appealing this assessment, and I have until March to do it.

Has anyone ever appealed their property assessment before? If so, what sort of information did you have to provide? If I were to just submit the purchase contract, with the price and date, would that suffice? Or would I need to get an appraisal from the bank or contact a realtor to do a Comparative Market Analysis, or something similar? From what I understand, I just need to prove to the assessor what the fair market value of my home is. I would think that since my house is the most recently purchased house on my block, that would be the best indicator of "fair market value".

Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks.
