Recently we've all received our 2013 Property Tax Assessments. It's sure nice to think that our home values have gone up but could it be that it's just the assessed value and our taxes on the rise?
If Assessed Values Seem Too High, Request a Review
What should you do?
A. Contact your Regional Assessment Office and ask to speak with your assessor.
- Saint John 643-6200
- Hampton (covers KV) 832-6002
B. By April 2, 2013 detach the middle portion of assessment notice to request a review of assessment by signing and submitting to either the Hampton or Saint John Regional Assessment office.
Homeowners Can Appeal Assessor’s Office Findings
Here’s where we come in. You can choose to appeal the assessor’s office findings by supplying them with demonstrative comparable properties that show today’s marketplace activity. The idea being that you want your home assessed at what buyers would pay for it today.
Numerous Homes Today Are Over-Assessed
Consider this: in just a few short months leading up to this year’s tax assessment notices, numerous listings indicate current values that are significantly lower than what the province deems acceptable. In fact, as mentioned in the video – there are some current listings on the market that have disparities of as much as $56,000. That’s a lot of extra taxable value!

To help you determine whether you have a solid case to request a lower assessed value, we will put together a report without any cost to you that will identify comparable properties in your neighborhood. These are homes that have recently sold, gone under contract recently or are currently available on the market. You, and hopefully the Assessor’s Office, will quickly see the comparison that should lead to lower taxes for you!
We invite you to contact us today for your free valuation report so you can win your appeal and start saving money!
