High Property Taxes in Detroit 48228 - Seeking Veteran Investor Advice

[Abdul Aziz Tambadou]

Hello Fellow Investors,

I have a concerning situation with my Detroit property (48228) and could use some guidance from experienced local investors. Here are the details:

• - Property value: $70K
• - Square footage: 943 sq ft
• - Summer tax bill: Nearly $3,000
• - Comparable properties: Similar homes (1,300 sq ft) are only paying $940-$1,100

This seems significantly out of line with neighboring properties. I've noticed homes 30% larger than mine are paying about 1/3 of my tax amount.

I know I missed the appeal window. Has anyone successfully appealed or reduced their property taxes in Wayne County? What was your strategy? Any recommendations for tax professionals who specialize in Detroit properties?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
