How will I see the savings?

After a successful property tax appeal, your assessed value is lowered. How that appears on your tax bill depends on your local tax authority.

In some jurisdictions, a successful appeal results in a refund or a credit on a future bill. If your taxes are paid through a mortgage escrow account, the refund is typically issued to your lender.

In other jurisdictions, the reduction applies to future tax bills rather than to bills already issued.

A later county-wide reappraisal is a new assessed value for a new tax year. It does not undo a reduction already granted for a prior year.

County websites can take several weeks to reflect the new value. Your decision letter from the county is the official record. If a later bill still shows the prior assessed value, contact hello@fairappeal.com.
