    The National Taxpayers Union has estimated that over 60% of properties in the United States are assessed too high. People are paying too much in property taxes. However, despite these growing property tax bills, less than half of homeowners will ever protest their assessments. That means most people are needlessly paying more in property taxes than necessary. The bottom line is that the appeal process is not as challenging as many homeowners fear.
