Should I Protest my Property Tax If I Am Planning to Sell My Home

[Jeremy Mahan]

I wanted to protest my property taxes for the last two years because I believe that it was over assessed and I am due a refund, however, I plan to put my house for sale in the next couple of months and I don't want a lower assessment to affect the sale.  Does anyone know how the county's property tax assessment of your property affects the value of your home when you go to sell?  I know that home buyers typically get an appraisal when they buy, so do they not consider the county's assessment of the house for tax purposes?  I'm not sure if I should protest the taxes or not and any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
