Appealing Taxes in Miami

[Marc Bresseau]

I have a recently bought property in Miami that was reassessed for tax purposes for almost $300,000 more than the previous assessed value. The seller had owned the home since '92 which is why the previous year's assessed value was so low. When the county reassessed the property's market value for taxing purposes I noticed that the market value for my home was assessed at a higher amount than the nearby homes that are similar. Any recommendations or successful stories on appealing property taxes?
