Today I took a class on how to read and explain a proposed tax bill.I learned a lot on how a tax bill is set up,how the tax assesor figures your home values,homestead,and how to look up everything at the county appraisor's web sites.You can find out what the neighbors are paying,the size of the homes and lot,names and mortgages and basically a history of the property and of the neighborhood. People should know what they're paying and where the money is going.The timing is perfect because I'm marching down to the Palm Beach County property appraisors office tomorrow to file a petition at the Value Adjustment Board on some lots that I own. I have a good chance of reducing my real estate taxes.Like I said knowledge is power.
