California House buyers want to know how much to offer for a house, sellers want to know how much to list a house for. Those seeking a property tax appeal want to know the market value of comparable homes in order to make adjustments to their home's worth. Variations in age, size, condition of the home, and other differences in amenities plus other factors weigh in on the overall market value of a home.

Californiareal estate agents can offer a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis) for houses in the area. This is a ball park figure. A more definitive figure is arrived at by obtaining an appraisal. A Home Market Value Appraisal gives a definitive value for the specific time frame in which the analysis was conducted. Prices range upward to $350.00 depending on the region in which you live.
Doing your own Home Market Value Appraisal is not rocket science. Investigating and doing it yourself will save you money and also give you an edge in negotiating. We suggest checking into the two options listed above (1) and (2).
If you desire to challenge your house property taxes and want to go the professional route, be prepared to open your wallet wide. Besides the appraisal fee, the appraiser will have to charge for a day's time at the municipal review. If you decide on hiring a professional mouthpiece, the attorney will not guarantee the result. You could lose the case and easily lose over a grand in the process. Again, we suggest checking into the two options listed above (1) and (2).

Redeveloping agencies drain property taxes
" ... (RDAs) stated that in 2002-03, California redevelopment agencies generated $31.8 billion in total economic activity . According to the state controller, for the years 2003-04 there was a total statewide redevelopment debt of almost $64 billion dollars, not counting interest.
Thanks to the increasingly "creative" use of redevelopment dollars by subsidizing hungry developers, local public agencies have seen their funding cut; $2.5 billion in annual property tax revenue is now going to California's redevelopment agencies, money not funding vital public services."
