The Better Business Bureau is warning Arizona residents to beware of misleading letters from an alleged Phoenix-based company called Property Tax Review Board that indicates that for a fee of $189 they can help homeowners reduce their property tax bills.
The letters state that due to the drop in property values, residents need to file again for a reassessment of their property taxes. The letter is an official looking form and includes property description and assessment information. It includes an adjusted assessment and the amount of supposed tax savings resulting from the Property Tax Adjustment Appeal if you sign an authorization and include a check for the fee.
BBB advises consumers not to send checks, cash, credit card or bank account information to an unknown solicitor. Property owners who have questions about property values and taxes are advised to contact the County Assessor's Office directly. You can get more information about property taxes and appeals here.
If you've had this experience, or you have been scammed by these people, here's how to file a complaint.
