Appeal Property Tax Assessment

A Fast, Cost-Effective Tool for Appealing County Assessment

Challenge an Assessed Value That Doesn’t Reflect Market Reality

Most property owners assume their property tax assessment is fixed—or that challenging it is pointless.

That’s rarely true.

Across the country, county assessors value property using mass appraisal techniques, not property-specific analysis. While efficient, mass appraisal often produces inaccurate or outdated assessed values, leaving property owners paying taxes on a value that does not reflect the real market.

Vallink helps property owners compare their assessed value to real market data and build a clear, evidence-based case to appeal or challenge an unfair assessment.

How Property Tax Assessments Work

In most jurisdictions, real property is taxed based on market value, or a percentage of market value, as determined by the county assessor.

To value thousands of properties efficiently, assessors rely on:

  • Statistical models

  • Broad market assumptions

  • Limited property-specific inspection

  • Grouped property characteristics

This process—called mass appraisal—is practical for governments, but it is not precise.

As a result, assessed values can be wrong.

Why Assessments Are Often Inaccurate

Property tax assessments can be overstated due to:

  • Use of outdated sales data

  • Failure to reflect recent market softening

  • Overgeneralization of neighborhoods

  • Incorrect square footage, condition, or features

  • Ignoring functional issues or location drawbacks

  • Applying neighborhood averages to non-average properties

  • Not accounting for deferred maintenance or obsolescence

Because mass appraisal looks at properties in groups, unique differences are often missed.

That’s where a targeted comparison to actual comparable sales becomes critical.

What Vallink’s Tax Appeal Tool Does

Vallink provides an automated, market-based review designed to help property owners evaluate and challenge an assessed value.

The service:

  • Analyzes the property’s assessed value

  • Compares it to relevant comparable sales

  • Highlights potential overassessment

  • Organizes findings in a clear, usable format

The goal is simple:

Determine whether the assessment aligns with market evidence—and if not, give you a stronger basis to appeal.

How the Service Helps With an Appeal

Most tax appeal boards and assessors want the same thing:

  • Comparable sales

  • Clear reasoning

  • Market-based support

Vallink helps you focus on:

  • Whether your assessed value exceeds typical sale prices

  • Whether better comparable sales exist

  • Whether your property differs meaningfully from the “average” property used in mass appraisal

  • Whether the assessment appears unsupported by the market

This gives you substance, not just frustration, when you file an appeal.

How the Process Works

1. Provide basic property information

2. Submit your request

3. Vallink analyzes assessed value relative to market sales

4. Receive your review by email within an hour

No appointments.
No back-and-forth.
No need to decipher assessor jargon.

Who This Service Is For

  • Homeowners who believe their tax assessment is too high

  • Property owners facing rising assessments despite flat or declining markets

  • Investors reviewing tax burdens across portfolios

  • Owners preparing for a formal tax appeal hearing

  • Anyone who wants to know whether an appeal is worth pursuing

If you pay property taxes, and value matters, this service applies to you.

What This Service Is—and Is Not

This service is:

  • A preliminary assessment review tool

  • Market-focused

  • Designed to support tax appeals

  • Fast and affordable

This service is not:

  • A guarantee of a reduced assessment

  • A substitute for legal or appraisal representation

  • A formal appraisal

  • A promise that an appeal will succeed

Tax appeal outcomes depend on jurisdiction rules, deadlines, and decision-makers—but strong evidence always helps.

Why Evidence Matters in Tax Appeals

Tax assessors and appeal boards see thousands of complaints every year.

Most fail because they rely on:

  • Opinions

  • Comparisons to neighbors’ tax bills

  • Zillow estimates

  • Complaints without sales support

Appeals supported by credible market data stand apart.

Vallink helps you start with that foundation.
