Did you recently get a notice that your property taxes are increasing? As an experienced REALTOR® in Shawnee, Oklahoma, I can be your valuable resource in lowering your property tax bill. Modest increases are expected, and naturally, we want—and expect—our property values to increase.

Just this morning a past client let me know that with my help, their tax liability was reduced by more than 12%! Here’s how I can help you too:

Understanding Deadlines:

You have 30 days from the notice date to file a written protest with the county assessor. Missing this window could result in the proposed values becoming final.

Protest Preparation:

I assist in preparing a concise and effective broker’s price opinion that outlines all relevant facts about the market and your true estimated value. This ensures your protest is compelling and increases the chances of success.
