Tax Protest Comparables Calculator - Save Money!

If you're like me, you likely got your tax bill in from the county assessor's office within the last few weeks and your taxes have gone up considerably!  Most people suggest you take matters into your own hands and file a protest online to get your home's tax assessed value lowered.  There are a number of ways to justify your claim, but one of the most effective I've found is to look up similar build and size houses near your property and then look up their tax assessment's on the county website.  You can usually find vary similar homes that have considerably lower assessments.  I've put together a simple Comparable Appraised Homes Calculator to help folks use to input the information from these other properties in order to justify their appeal. 

Feel free to make a copy and make changes to any of the adjustments as you please.  Enjoy!
