NEW BOOK ON PROPERTY TAX APPEALS COULD SAVE YOU TIME, TROUBLE AND MONEY

ATLANTA (MARCH 14, 2013) -- Companies and individuals thinking about filing a property tax appeal for 2013 are in luck.

Daniel Thomas Jones, Managing Director of Fair Assessments, an Atlanta-based property tax management company, has just completed an easy-to-understand book that gives a multitude of tips about how to effectively prepare for a property tax appeal. With tax assessments about to go out soon in many areas, “How to Appeal Your Property Tax” couldn’t have come at a better time.  It is available now at Amazon.com.

In Part One of the three-part book, Jones explains the basics of the first level of the appeals process. The initial step, he says, is to analyze your taxable value to determine whether a property tax appeal is in your best interest. If you decide you should file an appeal, he tells you how to obtain the data you will need to support a lower value, how to prepare the data for presentation and whether you should supply all of your data to the tax assessor or hold some back.

In Part Two, Jones puts the appeals process in perspective by reviewing the approaches that the tax assessors use to place a value on a property and he provides more information about the second and third levels of appeal -- if you need to take your appeal that far. In Part Three, he explains what property tax consultants can and can’t do to help you.

It’s a process Jones knows inside and out. He spent eight years working for two county assessment departments -- in Fulton County, GA and Prince William County, VA -- and for the last eight years has appealed taxable values for commercial property owners throughout the East Coast.

The book is a quick read and is written in an easy-to follow style that applies to both homeowners and commercial property owners. Anyone who is considering a property tax appeal will find it well worth investing a short amount of time to study Jones’s many helpful hints to plot a course of action.
