May/14/2011 02:19 PM Filed in: Resource GuideHomeowner
If your home value is dropping but your property taxes are not, you can appeal the assessed value of your home which may help lower your taxes.
Property values are down, so why doesn’t your property tax assessment reflect that? It’s estimated that between 30 and 60 percent of all taxable property in the country is over-assessed.
If you think your property tax assessment is off by 10 percent or more, you should consider challenging it. It will take some time, but is something you can do on your own.This resource guide article will show you how to go about it.

Tip: Spiff Up Your Homepage!

The "Welcome Box" on your homepage can be the most important part of your website. It’s often said that the first section of a homepage is like a storefront window – if it’s appealing and intriguing, visitors are more likely to peek inside.
Try these things to spiff up your homepage:
- Add a photo of a neighborhood event to the welcome box.
- Create a useful message in the “Extra Extra” field above the welcome box.
- If you live in an HOA, have the President write a welcome message.
- Write about your communities’ history and goals and invite participation.
- Add a photo, poem, or story created by a member of your community.
