Hi @John Van der Kieft, TAD has simplified the property tax protest process this year as you can complete the whole process online.

It probably varies from one Taxing District to the next, but usually the "Proposed Assessment" comes out in May or June, and there is a period of time for the property owner to protest the proposed amount.  

-HAZMAT mitigation-Additional plumbing installed and water consumption (commercial building usually has fewer bathrooms)-Neighbor protests to your re-development idea-Bringing an old commercial building up to modern residential codes (fire/ADA/safety/etc)-Are any amenities close by (industrial neighborhoods don't always have a supermarket or restaurants near by)?

If I don’t like the inspection and seller wishes to negotiate beyond what I want as resolution I’m within my right to terminate without negotiation so it feels like my attorney just wants to close the deal anyways despite my protests.

Conversely though, when I purchase a property for less than what the appraised value is, I use that as ammo to protest my appraised value to reduce my property taxes. 

The thinking being, if they miss the value by being too high the owner will protest.

When you get into commercial and larger multifamily the variances are much greater but so is your ability to protest the value.

Instead she held everything in her own name.I can already hear the howls of protest how this is an estate problem and of course this will never happen to you because you do everything correctly (except protect your assets) and your insurance policy covers everything.

Since you can’t protest the rate only the value.
