Price

What drives the cost of tax appeal appraisal in Trenton

  • Property type: residential, rental, commercial or vacant land
  • Number of tax years under appeal
  • Report type and detail needed for the Board of Review versus the Tribunal
  • Complexity, such as few comparable sales or unusual property
  • Rush turnaround close to the March meeting or July filing date
  • Hearing preparation and testimony time
  • The age of the home: the typical Trenton home was built around 1960, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Trenton

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Trenton was built around 1960. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

50% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Trenton building department before work starts.
