In general, it is always good to look at the taxable value every year for your property while you still own it when the tax statement comes.If you feel you can support a lower taxable value with sold comparables that are like your property nearby, then it is worth your time to try to dispute the value.It is true there is a very short timeframe to schedule a time to go in and dispute the taxable value with your local property tax assessor usually and the deadline is printed on the annual tax statement.The reality is real estate does not always go up in value.To your success!

I’ve heard from countless people over the years who made their construction financing decisions strictly based on the term sheet terms and have had miserable experiences.

@Michael AndersonIf you are looking for long-term growth, you aren't going to find it in Springfield, OH.
