Did you know you may be paying too much in property taxes for your home?

It's true. Delaware county has seen a decline in home values over the last 3 years in some neighborhoods. With the rise of foreclosures in last 24 months property values have taken a downturn. You may be wondering how this has affected your asset. Are you thinking of selling your home, refinance, or buy a new home? Then it's imperative you know if the assessed value of that home is accurate to avoid over paying in taxes.
