I am in the process of closing on a home. I was lucky enough to buy it for 20,000 dollars less than its appraised value. My problem is that I am being told that I have to pay the taxes based on the appraised value (rather than the amount I actually paid for it) for the remainder of this year (2007), and that I am not able to refute them to have them lowered, till next year. Is this correct? Another source also told me that I have to file the paperwork to refute the taxes by May 30th of this year or I will be unable to have them lowered at all next year, (2008). Can anyone give some clarification on this process?
Thanks ahead of time
