My accessed value, or notice of value for tax purposes is half of what i paid for the land in otero county nm. I can't convince my mother i did not get ripped off. How can i prove to her the notice of value is not market value.
Values are typically about 90% throughout the state. Is your land vacant? If there's a house or trailer on it it's residential and we have something similar to Cali's prop 13 here called a cap. Values have only been allowed to go up 3% a year since 1999 when the bill passed. That could have something to do with it. Call the Assessor's office and talk to one the folks there if you want to, but if it's just a mistake you might just shoot yourself in the foot doing that. The best way to stave of the criticism is to find out what some of the neighboring property has sold for. That info would be more available from a realtor or appraiser than the Assessor's who are bound by confidentialty.
