Tax success in jackson county

[Adam Sankowski]

Hey BP I had some recent success and just wanted to share,  I just challenged a recent property tax increase in Jackson county and actually “won”! They agreed with my argument and decreased the property value by 40k! 

I did have some photos to show that it was a well loved rental and not a new flip, and some rough numbers but ultimately I asked them to cut me some slack with COVID and they did!   Basically this is a lower rent lifer tenant in an area which has seen crazy appreciation and suddenly my taxes shot way up. 

The process was super easy, all online, although I had numbers and pictures, ultimately I gave them a bit of an emotional appeal (all true though) and they  lowered the accessed value by 40k! 

I just share this for any property owners dealing with big tax bump ups I highly recommend you attempting a challenge! Jackson county seems to be pretty reasonable and open to debate :)
