My Parcel CheckCheck a property
Free DIY property tax appeal tool

Decide whether to appeal. Build your reduction case.

Turn your tax bill—and, when relevant, the rent or expected purchase price—into transparent calculations. Long-term rental owners receive a premade appeal explanation they can review, personalize, and submit themselves, while buyers can screen for a possible tax opportunity after purchase.

Built from firsthand experience

Property tax appeals should not feel like rocket science.

After more than eight years investing in real estate, I found a simple, repeatable way to organize the numbers behind an assessment appeal. It helped me save meaningful money across multiple properties. My Parcel Check turns that practical format into a clear starting point other owners can understand and verify.

Personal experience is not a promise of similar results.

How it works

From parcel to a clearer decision.

We show the source, the assumptions and the math. You decide whether an appeal deserves more research.

01

Add the tax bill

Upload a supported PDF for automatic extraction, or copy the assessment and tax figures into the guided form.

02

Put the numbers in context

Compare assessment changes, tax changes and rental-income scenarios without hiding the assumptions.

03

Get a useful next step

Receive an owner appeal draft or a buyer’s post-closing evidence plan when the screening supports further review.

One property, two useful moments

Check it while you own it, or before you buy it.

For long-term rental owners

Understand whether the rental assessment deserves another look.

Review official year-over-year changes, rental-income scenarios and a draft explanation when the numbers support further investigation.

For prospective buyers

See the tax context before the purchase becomes your responsibility.

Compare the expected purchase price with the assessment, understand why the seller’s bill may change, and know which evidence to preserve after closing.

What arrives in your report

More than a calculator result.

The report is organized to help you understand the assessment and prepare for the next step. It does not submit an appeal for you.

A deliberately honest tool

Sometimes the right answer is “do more research.”

We will not call a screening result an appraisal, invent comparable properties, or guarantee a reduction. If reliable information is unavailable, the report says so and points you back to the official record.
