Many homeowners in Meridian Kessler have raised concerns about their high property tax assessments. With the property tax changes in recent years, the assessed value of a home is designed to reflect market value. A recent sale/purchase ( or even an appraisal that was conducted) are sound proof for the market value of a property and should suffice for an appeal.
Below is the Marion County Short Form and instructions from the Marion County website to help you navigate through this process. How to Appeal your Property Taxes
