Residential property assessment appeals
Summary
Homeowners are challenging big jumps in assessed values. Murphy's home went from $439,000 to $608,000 in one year, and the county's comp-based reduction to $535,100 still didn't satisfy him.

Impact analysis
The county recommended a $69,600 reduction on Murphy's home, and losing a homestead exemption can more than double a property's tax bill.
Taxpayers who bring qualifying evidence can win meaningful reductions in their assessed values.
Homeowners on fixed incomes face sharp increases when assessments rise or homestead exemptions lapse.
