Appealing Tax Assessment Adjustment in Shelby County, TN.

[J Lustre]

Just received notification from Shelby County Assessor of Property in Memphis that that market value of an investment property has increased, thereby increasing the assessed value and my tax obligation.

Hoping that the BiggerPockets community can help!

• Do you have firsthand knowledge of the appeals process in Shelby County?  Were you successful in your appeal?
• Do you know of any service provider that can help with the appeals process?  I am an out of state investor.

Thank you everybody!

I went through and followed the process online and submitted couple appeals.  I just used values from zillow "sold" values and sent I think 3 comparable examples electronically.  I was able to reduce one of the 2 submissions based on that.

I'm not sure if you can still appeal the assessment right now.  Check the site and see if you still have time or not.  This is the site that I went through - http://www.assessor.shelby.tn.us/content.aspx?key=...

I don't know anyone doing it for Memphis tax appeal process there.  Maybe someone local can help?

Good luck.
