Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Scientific American
Adler shows how to find these errors and, when appropriate, how to prepare an effective appeal. He offers specific details of the property tax laws of each state and of each Canadian province, including the rate and kind of tax, how often reassessments must be made, the exemptions and credits available, when appeals can be filed, and who to contact for more information.
Frank Adler's own experience demonstrates the real opportunity that many property owners have to reduce their taxes; his book offers a practical guide to doing so.
About the Author:
Frank J. Adler, a 22-year veteran of the jewelry industry, certainly knows how to spot a diamond in the rough. After earning a B.A. from Penn State, he worked as a computer programmer, teacher, and salesman, then became a diamond and color stone merchant, fine jewelry manufacturer, and precious metal refiner, a renaissance man of sorts with a wide range of interests and abilities. As a craftsman, he mastered the art of successfully challenging the property tax system. He lives with his wife in Miami, Florida.
Review
Unless a property has recently been purchased, the taxes on it are based on an estimation of its market value by a bureaucrat. Most people assume that the valuations of their property are more or less accurate, but in his new book, How To Reduce Your Property Taxes: A Totally Legal Way to Cut Your Bill by Hundreds, Even Thousands, of Dollars, Frank J. Adler illustrates that all too often this is not the case. Adler has written a comprehensive, easy to understand guide to the world of property taxes in the U.S. and Canada. This book can help residential property owners determine if they are being overly taxed and shows them what to do about it if they are.
Frank Adler is not a lawyer, accountant, or tax consultant; he's an average citizen spurred to action one year by an unreasonable jump in the assessed value of his Florida home. Plunging into the bureaucratic maze, Adler successfully challenged the assessment and won a reduction of his property tax. To date, he has challenged assessments eleven times on various pieces of property and has been successful in reducing the taxes every time.
In his book, Adler simply describes what the property tax is and how it works. He explains the three basic methods by which the government assesses market value and shows the weaknesses and pitfalls of each. From clerical transcription errors to inappropriate comparisons with other properties to failure to follow the letter of the law, there are many reasons why the official valuation of a piece of property may be incorrect or invalid. -- From the Publisher
