Yavapai County Tax Time!
This is the time of the year that I protest the high property taxes for the next year. I check out the valuation sheets they send me every year and if I feel that the valuation has jumped too much, I will protest it. Generally I will save some money doing this.
The interesting part of all this is that the process is relatively painless. You have to fill out a form and all that, but the best part is that the assessor’s office people are really with it and willing to help. They answer all my dumb questions with good thought out answers and never make me feel like a complete idiot. The service is really good otherwise. They even call you back.
All this is just to say that you should not be scared to protest your valuations. The County won’t bite you. You might even save a few bucks in the process!
