Should I appeal my property tax every year? + Show Answer
Yes! Various un-biased, "third party" sources recommend that you check your property valuation each year. These include Consumer's Reports, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine and others. Even if your property value decreased or didn't change, we strongly recommend you ask TaxDetective to lower your property tax. Since 1997, our experience has shown that owners who consistently ask us each year to file an appeal end up with lower property taxes.

Are there up-front fees? + Show Answer
Generally no. Tax Detective's business is lowering property taxes.
-
How accurate is the Assessor's valuation of my property? + Show Answer
It depends. The Assessor is responsible for appraising all real properties. A Mass Appraisal System is used and valuations are set according to approximate market value. Sales of similar properties are used to determine market values. Given the allowable time and resource constraints, this is a challenge. In times of uncertainty and changing market values it is very difficult.
-
Are there filing deadlines? + Show Answer
Yes. The deadline may be shown on the paperwork that you received from the Assessor. When you return your two forms, please also send a copy of this paperwork to us.
-
May I appeal non-residential properties? + Show Answer
Yes! We welcome all types of properties.
-
May I appeal more than one property? + Show Answer
Yes! It is best that you ask us to analyze the valuations of all the properties you own. You may use one set of forms for all properties providing they are all in Arizona. For properties in other states, return to the Home page and chose another state.
