Caruthers Property Tax Letter
Caruthers & Associates is the oldest property tax firm in the State of Tennessee. The firm has filed more protests in Tennessee than any other firm and has saved literally countless millions of tax dollars for our clients.
In addition we have been very active in achieving legislation to help taxpayers oppose some of the unfair legislation that prohibits the taxpayers from achieving equitable taxes. Some of these bad laws still exist today and we are continuing to file legislation and opposing legislation proposed by the taxing agencies which would diminish taxpayers’ right to protest their taxes.
We offer these articles to assist the taxpayers in their fight against high taxes. You will find informative articles on how to appeal your taxes and other articles on protective actions a taxpayer must take in order to survive in this arena which is full of pitfalls. We send these articles to our clients as soon as they are available for publication. Therefore, our clients are always up on the latest issues in property tax matters.
Not all the articles and information we furnish are for commercial taxpayers. For example, you will find that one of our articles is a very detailed step by step guide on how to reduce the taxes on your home.
You will also find useful information through links to our other websites we maintain at MemphisPropertyTax.Com , NashvillePropertyTax.Com, and KnoxvillePropertyTax.Com. These websites contain enormous amounts of information about the State and each of these communities including the tax structure, tax rates, important dates, assessors and county boards.
Also, visit Tennessee Taxpayers Association for more information on Tennessee taxes including property taxes. This organization supports taxpayers and keeps taxpayers informed in legislative tax issues and from other sources. The Association also organizes fights against what is viewed anti-taxpayer legislation.
Consult us so we can help you in your fight against high property taxes. Our firm obtains results better than most firms are able to achieve. Our staff has the expertise to challenge the assessments and lower your taxes. We aggressively pursue the results you need to bring your taxes down to the legal minimum. Although we will aggressively pursue lower taxes on your behalf, we always keep our clients’, as well as own, reputations foremost in mind.
An important issue in these times is sale price versus property tax appraisal. Consider that even though you may have just purchased your property and the assessor has the sales price as the appraised value, do not let that discourage you from seeking lower taxes. A sales price does not always equal value for property tax purposes and you will find an article here which discusses that fact in detail.
Do not be satisfied with high taxes!
