Property Tax Reassessments. I recently received an official looking letter in the mail encouraging me to file for a reassessment of my property value. They estimate that I could save as much as $1200 annually. And, all I have to do is return the top portion of their form along with a $179 payment. The disclaimer at the bottom of the page reads that this letter is not from a government agency, nor have their "estimates" been verified.
In a time where people are cutting costs in any way they can, a savings of $1200 a year sounds awfully appealing. Why wouldn't you jump at the chance? However, you can have your property value reassessed at NO COST through the county tax assessor's office. If you think you might qualify for a reassessment of your property value and you're in the County of Sacramento, visit the tax assessor's website (Sacramento County Tax Assessor).
The 2008 filing period closed on December 1st of 2008. Filing for 2009 will open on July 2nd and run through November 30th.
