When checking inot property tax matters, it seems there is a high error rate from the tax assessor's office. Surveys seem to indicate that there is about a 50/50 chance that the assessment is wrong.

So no matter what the economic climate, it pays to be on top of how the assessment figures are compiled. Would you want some arbitrary official to do your income taxes assigning whatever deductions they decided to concoct?

The only problem is that with declining home prices, the tax rates will be going up … unless governments cut their expenses. Fat chance.
