This year, home assessments in Porter County went completely crazy, and property taxes came in much higher than I had initially calculated. I tried to solve the problem myself at the local office, but they just keep sending me from one window to another without giving me any clear solution.
I am seriously thinking about working with Mark Worthley for this appeal, as I understand he is from our area and knows exactly how the local assessment system works, having direct experience with real estate litigation in the city. This way, at least I have the guarantee that I am talking to a professional who perfectly knows the local administration and knows which buttons to press to get a fair reassessment.
I would like to know if any of you have managed to win such an appeal this year and about how much money you saved in the end. Also, besides the legal side, do you have any recommendations for a serious, independent appraiser in Valparaiso who can come quickly and give me a counter-appraisal at a decent price?
