I know there are quite a few companies out there that will contest your property taxes for you and take a fee if they win.  Does anyone have recommendations for a company they have used in the past and had success?  


I did an informal hearing for a mobile home community I own in Iowa where I got the assessed value to go down $20,000.  The only problem is...I was asking for ~$500,000 reduction in valuation.

    In my experience in Iowa they never come down significantly. I still fight them alot. With assessments going up alot the last couple years I am sure they are instructed to not move much. The best movement I have gotten is when their is a mistake on the assessment page so definitely verify everything is accurate.
