State Senator Matt Murphy on Property Tax Exemptions
Dear Friend,
Recently, many of us received “sticker shock” when we opened our property tax bills. We have a way to fight back against higher taxes by filling an appeal and getting the correct exemptions. To help everyone better understand the process, local township assessors Dan Patlak and Terry Kelly took time to record some short videos about appealing your taxes. Please watch the videos below and ensure that you are saving as much as you can on your property taxes.
