Appeal Savings Simulator

Estimate your potential savings, expected value (probability-based), and multi-year impact before you file.

Inputs

Current assessed value

Target assessed value

Rate type

Rate value

Total exemptions (keep constant)

One-time appeal cost

Probability of success (%)

Years to model

Annual value growth if you do nothing (%)

Annual value growth after a win (%)

Enter your numbers and run the simulation.

If your break-even is within 1 tax cycle, it’s often worth serious consideration.
Expected value helps when you’re uncertain: EV = (Savings × Probability) − Costs.
A win can carry forward for years, but some places “reset” values after sales or renovations.
