COLDWELL BANKER WEIR MANUEL TO HOST PROPERTY TAX SEMINARS

It's that time of the year again when homeowners need to begin thinking about their property taxes. Next month, municipalities will be mailing property owners Property Assessment Notices for 2010. Shortly after that, normally about the second week in March, local Boards of Review will hear property tax appeals.

For the third year, Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel will be hosting property tax seminars to educate tax payers about the appeal process. Home owners will learn how to read and interpret their assessment notices. We will also explain the difference between State Equalized Value, Capped Value and Taxable Value. The uncapping process will also be explained.

Taxpayers will also learn about the appeal process, both at the local and state levels. After attending one of these seminars, most taxpayers will have a clear understanding whether or not it makes sense for them to appeal their assessment.
Our seminars will again be held in multiple locations around the tri-county area during the middle of February, which is just about the time taxpayers should be receiving their assessment notices. Dates and locations will be established soon. The sessions will be complimentary and be done as a community service. All past, current and future clients of the firm are welcome.
