I was looking at Zillow other day at houses in our general neigborhood. Zillow has info on square footage of houses, # beds, # baths, etc., but aloo has the assessed values of the homes and the respective property taxes for the properties. I noticed that the taxes on some homes that appear to be bigger than ours (more square footage, more rooms, etc.) have lower taxes than ours. The differerences are not huge---probably within a $200-$400 range. I am assuming the data on Zillow is accurate---the taxes, sq footage, # rooms, etc. for my home is correct. Do tax assessments reflect things like the quality of the home (e.g. brick vs. aluminum siding, high end kitchens vs. low end)? I am assuming that the valuation methods are not that sophisitcated. Would I have any luck using the Zillow data to try and get my tax assessment reduced? Thanks.
