Do you currently own a home in Las Vegas? Do you feel like you are paying too much in Property Taxes due to the current economic situation we find ourselves in? If you answered yes to one, or both of these questions, I have great news! You can file an appeal for the city to review your Property taxes which can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars! Who couldn't use an extra thousand dollars these days, right?
The cut off date for the Property Tax Appeal is January 17th. That's next MONDAY!!

You can do it yourself, which Michele Schafe assistant director of the Clark County Assessor's Office, suggests. Or you can hire a company like Value Appeal that will do it for you. Their cost is $99. More information about their services can be found at the website above.
"Property owners who believe that the market value of their property is less than the taxable value listed or believe that they were assessed differently than comparable property may contact the Assessor's Office Appraisal Division at 455-4997 for an explanation of the values. If not satisfied after speaking with the Assessor's Office, a property owner may file a petition with the County Board of Equalization for a review of the values. The petition must be filed on or before January 18, 2011. The petition forms are available in the County Assessor's Office, located at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway, second floor. The petitions will be scheduled for presentation to the County Board of Equalization during its meetings, which will be held in January and February, 2011. If further appeal is desired, a petition may be filed with the State Board of Equalization no later than March 10, 2011." copied directly from the Clark County assessor's page.
While you are at it contact your insurance rep and ask that they reduce your insurance too!
