Appeal Property Assessment Value in Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana

Shawn W.
Posted

Hi BP community, 

New investor here recently purchased my first investment property (duplex) in Fort Wayne! Has anyone had experience for assessed property value appeal and/or has general advice on lowering property tax you could share? 

The property's assessed valued jumped a lot in 2024, and I'm currently filing an appeal form. 

-How's the process like? As a remote investor, do I need to physically be there to meet the county assessors? 

-What kind of evidence / document is need for the back up? How do you approach the appeal? - for now I'm stating that the property condition has not be improved since the year before, and pointed out there are many the delayed maintenance. Anything else you would include? comps? 

Any kind of advice is welcomed, thank you!

Shawn
