Hello, I use niche.com to determine, or get an idea, of the neighborhood class.

Yes, you can file a complaint. Be prepared to “prove” the new value. It is not enough to say that because you paid $80k, then it only has a value of $80k.

You can file remotely, but if the value requested is more than 20 percent reduction, they will probably ask for a hearing.

They will typically ask you if you made any improvements. 

PM me if you want more info.

Thanks for your response Bob!  

A couple of properties I am analyzing cash flow very little with their current tax rate, but they seems to be good properties in good areas. I wanted to have an idea how likely it would be to have taxes reduced so they cash flow better. 

I will PM you in case I need more info.

I am looking to buy my second duplex in Cleveland. Taxes in the "Heights" cities are high. Is it too rare to have taxes reduced? What I mean is that some properties that are listed around $100,000 have taxes as high as $5,000. That is way more than what the this publication says. Is it possible to contest the taxes and have them reduce according to purchase price?

Thanks in advance,

Miguel

Thanks for the post @Andrew A. and @Avi Garg. I closed on a duplex in Cleveland Heights on December 26th. I haven't received water/sewer bills yet, but now I have an idea how much they'll be. Tenants pay for gas. 

I am paying $73/month for insurance and $242/month for taxes.

condos that rent for $700 a month don’t cost anywhere close to $200,000; and condos that cost $200,000 don’t rent for anywhere close to $700 a month.
