How to Appeal Your Property Tax Assessment Value (2026)
 
On Tuesday, January 27, the WCA held a zoom presentation hosted by neighbor Ann Hingston, which provided an overview of recent increases to Montgomery County property taxes and home value assessments. It was an extremely informative session, with almost 40 residents attending, and included valuable insights into how to appeal an increase in your home's assessed value. Remember, you must file your appeal by Friday, February 13.
