Anyway, how do I get them to correct my SF and number of bathrooms? I would think both of those affect the valuation?
quote:Precisely why you got what you asked for. They couldn't argue otherwise.
Got my iSettle offer and it was exactly what I asked for which is what I paid for it in 2014. Not sure if anyone else is having luck with iSettle, but it was pretty easy for me...granted this is my first year and not a lot to argue since I have a purchase price.
quote:Not true at all. I was in the same boat last year; both the iSettle and the informal protest were denied. Had to go before the board to get purchase price.quote:Precisely why you got what you asked for. They couldn't argue otherwise.

quote:Oh they can reject you, they just can't present a legit argument unless it was an unusual type of sale. 99 times out of 100, either through isettle or the informal, you'll get your purchase price if you present your closing statement and if you purchased that year.quote:Not true at all.

Of course, they made up for it this year by increasing my market value by 20% more than the increases sustained by my neighbors. Tried to iSettle again given this fact. Again, was rejected.
quote:When did you purchase?
Mine went up 18%, capped at 10%. Just got to closing cost. Any chance of protest to get it lowered, or if appraised < amount paid, walk away? Never fooled with this before.

I didn't even have to provide a closing statement through iSettle. I just put in that I purchased in 2014 and entered a requested value $10k below what I paid. They didn't fall for it and came back with my exact purchase price.
