Why do taxes vary on similar looking houses?
There are numerous reasons why taxes vary from property to property. Several reasons could be:
  • A property owner may have filed a grievance or a small claims petition granting a reduction in the assessed value.

  • The overall condition of the property, location, square footage, lot size, amenities and school district.

  • A property owner may have applied for and been granted a property tax exemption which will reduce the overall property taxes.
