Property tax reduction strategies

[Digger Odell]

I need to try and get the property tax on my new property reduced. Town recently (last October) had a reval and my property is way off from both what I paid for it in November and how the town has it measured for living space.

I missed the "informal" opportunity to go before the company that did the reval due to the town sending the notice to the prior owner. Now I have only the formal to try and make my case.

Have others been through this and how do you approach it. What do you bring with you to support your case, etc.

Thanks!
