Delaware Home 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.
Delaware real 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).

Property taxes in Rehoboth to increase? By Hilary Corrigan Coast Press Reporter
"Rehoboth Beach will raise property taxes under a 2006-2007 budget proposal -- but the increase won't bother most, predicted city resident Hoyte Decker after a Jan. 27 budget review session with Rehoboth officials.
"People are not going to blink," he said of the likely reaction to raising the rates that have remained stable since 1993.
The tax would rise from $1.40 per $100 of assessed property value to $1.55 and bring the city an extra $90,000 for the year after tax bills go out in the summer.
The tax is based on the 1968 value of land and buildings. A tax now for an average lot and home worth $26,535 at that time, for instance, is about $371.
The city's single biggest revenue source remains the realty transfer tax that stems from property sales.
City Mayor Sam Cooper doesn't want Rehoboth to rely so heavily on that money that totals about $2 million each year and funds Rehoboth's operational costs, including city workers' salaries." For complete article click Delaware Property Taxes
