Many homeowners have witnessed considerable increases in property value over the past few years. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, home prices increased by 18.9% in 2021.
Along with the meteoric increases in home prices, property tax bills have shot through the roof, with an average increase of 18%, according to a report from home service provider research company House Method.
But according to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, just 5% of assessed taxpayers ever initiate an appeal.
