Taxes – To Appeal or Not to Appeal
By J.P. Perron CDPE
That is the question. The answer is – how much was your home worth last Thursday? To appeal tax bills, California homeowners MUST use the Market Value from January 1st.
During 2008, how many times have we heard how far prices have dropped? It would take ten articles to cover the facts. To simplify, let me offer some advice. CALL AN APPRAISER.
Many of you have Prop. 13 keeping your taxes low – be happy! For the rest of us, appraisers can determine if our property is worth less than the taxman claims.
The appeal process is stacked against us, even at a “fair” hearing. The taxman will fight AGAINST you. Success requires an accurate Market Value, as of January 1st.
The taxman uses imprecise appraisal methods to raise taxes – but an impartial Hearing Officer will listen to both sides!
Accurate comparable properties are the way to win! You may know how much local homes sold for, but can you adjust their prices for: Lot Size? Condition? Living Area? Fireplace? Remodeling? View? Landscaping? Air Conditioning? Pool/Spa? Additional Bedrooms/Baths? Sale Date? Foreclosure!?!?!? Professional appraisers can.
The taxman – not so much.
Homeowners – not likely.
Check your tax bill. If you believe the assessed value is more than you could sell your home for NOW... get professional advice. If you're sick, call a doctor. If you're car is broken, call a mechanic. If you're sick and tired of a broken tax system... call an appraiser.

REAL ESTATE NEWS abridged from Tolucan Times July 30, 2008 “The most important elements of The Law Offices of Tamar Poladian are strength and fairness” says Tamar. “In my household, standing up for what is right comes first.” Take advantage. Now is the time! Think of our network as a program – like working out - to keep you in solid financial condition. From first time homebuyers, to seasoned investors expanding their holdings! Let us help you.
Family values and integrity lead the way for TEAM POLADIAN’S “next generation.” With guidance from veteran Tolucan Times columnist Aida Poladian, son Art Poladian, daughter Tamar Poladian-Perron Esq. and son-in-law J.P. John Perron, this family of professionals walks the walk.
Aida, an active broker, explains, “As a child, Tamar’s teacher said she defended classmates and resolved disputes. A natural mediator. Her membership in a school board, local police civilian committee, political party board, pet rescue group, a former judge tempore and now working within the leagal system, fulfills her promise.”
“J.P.” Perron embraces the philosophy. “Expanding my work as a licensed appraiser and real estate agent into expert witness and commercial property consultant, seeing the whole picture and ‘playing fair’ is a top priority,” he says. “Currently we are negotiating a $40 million offer for a confidential client - integrity and resolution are required elements of the deal.”
“Dealing with our family team includes the utmost propriety and confidentiality. Our celebrity clients demand it and we deliver,” proclaims Art. “When J.P. renders services to investors and Tamar represents her clients” he continues, “the family values that we were raised with are a package deal.”
In the sage words of Aida Poladian, “Team Poladian-Perron delivers family values, strength, resolve and integrity in equal measure. Whatever the need.”

SCAM ALERT – FAKES, FIXES AND FLY BY NIGHTS By J.P. John Perron, CDPE It's
that time of year again. Our mailbox is filling up with offers to save
our home, plus official looking documents instructing us to mail a check
for tax appeal reassessment because the "estimated market value" of our
home has dropped over 70%. As a licensed appraiser, I realize that it
is illegal to give estimated market value without a license. Not to
mention that they claim a Tolucan home is worth only $216,000!!
One problem – these fly by night fakes do NOT have the appropriate licenses. The authorities' main line of defense aginst fake fixes is to suspend or revoke a license. Who can help defend us against fraudulent offers that falsely claim to "Stop Foreclosure" and "Modify your Mortgage" or "Reduce your Taxes"? The best defense is to always use professionals with a history of ethical practice. Ask to see a copy of their license – call the Dept. of Real Estate.
An attorney's license will be hanging behind their desk. An appraiser will be happy to supply a copy of their license BEFORE you pay a single penny. A veteran broker can proudly give you the history of the company – like Broker Associate Aida Poladian's 35 years at the same Toluca Lake location.
Oh yeah, these folks also have Errors and Omissions insurance to protect us - them and YOU!
