Anyone have a cell tower on your property in JeffCO? My taxes almost tripled last year & since I had moved the notice was not delivered until after the date to protest. Have hearing date this month & would like to hear from anyone who has similar experience. Thank you in advance or your help.

I disputed property taxes on a house I own in Jeff County. The "hearing" will consist of a person very carefully taking your complaint and comments, gathering the information you provide, and then bringing that to a closed meeting. There are some standard rules on disputing, and you would be well advised to call and ask exactly what is required for evidence. Note also that they are picky on the DATES of any comp. sales. All in all though, the process is very professional and fairly fast.

If the cell tower is not owned by you (and I doubt it is), but the land is rented from you, you might have increased taxation from the benefit (rent payments) to you, but the cell company should be paying taxes on the tower itself. You'll need copies of documentation on who owns what and all of that for the hearing. Let the person at the hearing select what is appropriate. Dated photos and surveys and recorded deeds are good.
