You can experience real savings over the next four years by appealing.
If you live in the greater Crystal Lake area, you can expect to pay about 3.5% per year of your home’s fair market value in property taxes each year. Let’s suppose you have a house that is assessed at $300,000 but that actually is only worth $270,000. Here is how much money you can save:
Current tax bill: $300,000 x 3.5% = $10,500 in taxes per year
Tax bill after appeal: $270,000 x 3.5% = $9,450 in taxes per year
Yearly savings of $1,050.
