State law puts the burden of proof on the property owner to show that the assessment is incorrect. Stating that property taxes are too high is not relevant. You should establish in your mind what you think your property is worth. The best evidence that could be considered would be a recent sale price of your property. The next best eveidence would be recente sales prices of properties that are similar to yours. The closer in similarity and proximity, the better the evidence. Another type of evidence that could be considered would be a recent appraisal of your property.
