Assessed value/real property taxes and how to dispute questionable assessments.

Teton County Assessed Values & Real Property Taxes:

According to a recent article in the JH Daily, the assessed value of our real estate should decline by an approximate 11% from 2009. I know many whose ‘estimated property taxes’ changed very little.  Therefore, it’s wise to please pay attention to your 2010 assessment notice that should have arrived recently on yellow paper.

Any resident may dispute their 2010 assessment by calling the Assessor at 733.4960, or paying a personal visit to their office on Willow St.

It would help the cause if you have real comparable sales (3+) to defend your position. The month of August will be when you receive your 2010 Tax Bill from the Teton County Treasurer requesting partial payment for November 2010, or full payment for the end of the calendar year.
