Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
I would highly recommend City Wide Appraisal to anyone! We were referred to them by my mother's estate attorney and grateful for this referral. Both Rick and Karen were very friendly, very knowledgeable, very accommodating and very responsive. The appraisal report was very professional and very detailed and contained everything that was requested to be done and was accomplished in a timely manner even though we were in the midst of back to back hurricanes. The estate accountant was also pleased with the report and advised it was everything needed. We are happy to have had the opportunity to work with City Wide Appraisal!
After the hurricane we had hired an appraiser to reevaluate our home value, only to have the permitting department reject it as it was not completed correctly. Then our original appraiser ghosted us, and left us feeling hopeless, but City Wide stepped in, they were quick and professional and knew exactly what the county needed and we are once again on track to fix our home. Thanks!
Richard did an amazing job with our appraisal and very timely. His wife was also very helpful answering questions I had during the process. Would highly recommend them.
Hi Rick, I am new to appraisals, and I am shocked just by how detailed they are. I think you did a fantastic job in every aspect. Extremely professional. Equally important is your superb and timely communication with me. These appraisals will now allow us to move forward with the division of the estate between my wife (Jeanette) and her sister (Lorraine) as their dad wanted. Thank you for your help with this. Right from my initial contact with you until the finalized appraisals were received every aspect has been an extremely positive experience. Thank you! Regards, Bruce
I was an appraiser for 32 years (retired) and I can say that appraiser Richard Weiler did an excellent and thorough appraisal job. His inspection of my home was thorough and included all upgrades that I completed. I would highly recommend City Wide Appraisal.
Super efficient and responsive team; we ordered an appraisal for our home and it was scheduled and the report delivered within 48 hours! Highly recommend.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a property tax appraisal?
A property tax appraisal is an independent opinion of a property’s market value. It can be helpful when the county’s assessed value appears too high and the owner wants to challenge the amount used to calculate property taxes.
Why is my assessed value different from the market value?
The assessed value is the amount used by the county for tax purposes. Market value is an estimate of what the property may sell for under normal market conditions. Exemptions, assessment limits, property use, land value, buildings, and previous sales can all affect the final assessed amount.
Can an appraisal help reduce my property taxes?
It may help. A professional appraisal can provide evidence that the county’s value is higher than the property’s supported market value. The appraisal does not guarantee a reduction, but it can strengthen your case when you file an appeal with the county property appraiser or the appropriate review board.
What information does the appraiser review?
The property appraiser may review recent sales, the property address, land size, buildings, condition, improvements, property use, comparable parcels, and available public records. For income-producing properties, the appraiser may also consider rental income and operating information when appropriate.
How do I challenge a property tax assessment in Hillsborough County?
Start by reviewing your assessment notice and the property information listed online. Contact the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser’s Office if you believe the record is incorrect. You may also need to file a petition before the annual deadline. Visit the official county site for current forms, dates, contact details, office hours, fax information, and filing instructions.
What is tangible personal property?
Tangible personal property generally includes business equipment, furniture, machinery, tools, and other physical assets that are not part of the land or buildings. These items may be assessed separately. Business owners should review the county requirements and file the correct return each year, often early in the year.
What documents should I provide for an appeal appraisal?
Helpful documents may include the tax notice, property record card, purchase documents, recent sales information, building plans, repair estimates, photographs, income records, exemption details, and any information showing errors in the county record. You may be able to download some of these documents online through the county or clerk’s website.
When should I contact an appraiser?
Contact an appraiser as soon as you receive the assessment notice, rather than waiting until the filing deadline is close. Appeal dates can change each year, so remember to confirm the current deadline with the county office. Early contact gives the appraiser time to inspect the property, review public records, answer questions, and complete the service properly.
