Helping homeowners reduce their property taxes can be a work-at-home business model that is a win win situation for everyone. Property taxes that are a sting to the homeowner, and in some areas, they are rising as home values tank.

However unfair this situation is, it does present a huge business opportunity for a property tax consultant -- a profitable and successful home business.
Most homeowners have little knowledge or time to look into their individual property taxes and don’t know if their taxes are correct or not. And appealing their property tax assessment is a bother they would rather have looked into by someone else.
Hard evidence shows that property tax assessments are not reliable.
- Consumer Reports has published that property tax records show an error rate of 40% exists in estimating property taxes. (Nov.1992 v57 nil p.723)
- The National Taxpayers Union writes that as many as 60% of all homeowners are over-assessed and not in line with their home value. ("How To Fight Property Taxes" 2004 p.1)
