We felt we were overpaying on our taxes for years. Our neighbor has a very similar house and his taxes were substantially less. We grieved it several times using his house as a comp and were denied. On the county's website it showed us that our house's sq. footage was off by 300 sq. ft. The county said it was a clerical error and that it will be fixed for the future tax rolls but, for what we already paid, they can do nothing. Anything we can do? Thanx.

If this happened to me I would try to at least get them to allow a credit for future taxes applied asgainst the current year and maybe others. The fault was theirs and they should make amends.

How long have you been overpaying? You should be able to get a refund, but each county and each state has different laws concerning what needs to be done. You may want to contact an local attorney who deals with real estate.
I would guess that you would need to get on the county's back about this. I doubt they will cut you a check without a fight, even if they owe you the money (this is where a lawyer can help you).

Most counties have protest procedures at least for the current year. See if tax protests can be retroactively filed.

Whoever admitted that you have overpaid would be best suited to either answer your question, or direct you to a person who can. I would think that you can get your money back. We got money back from local taxes before, without asking.

definite, the sole way that she would get a factor of the refund is to document an Injured companion declare the place she tries to get the IRS to appreciate that this debt isn't hers and replaced into incurred ahead of the marriage.

The best you can hope for is that they will credit the overpayment to your future taxes. Ask them.
