Property Tax Meltdown

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Peachtree Road

I am looking forward to this report: On Sunday, December 19, the Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) will launch its "Property Tax Meltdown" series - an investigative report that reveals flaws in home property value assessments and their impact on metro Atlanta homeowners left with unreasonably high tax bills. The obvious question is: "What took you so long?" and why haven't our towns, counties, town councils and elected officials realized this?

I believe 2011 will be the 'Year of the Short Sale'. If you aren't ready to handle this type of sale, you should be getting ready or finding someone who is! And make sure you know the tax implications of the sale for the buyer.

Locally, I got a recent assessment and they have lowered the property values.
