Frequently Asked Questions

The typical deadline for filing a protest is May 15th. To have CPT file your protest, sign up by 12:00 PM on May 14th. Some owners can still sign up with us after the cutoff if they have already filed their protest. Contact us to learn more.

Tax savings is based on the difference between the proposed value and the final value and multiplied by the most current tax rate. For example, if the proposed value is $100,000 and the final value is $90,000 and your tax rate is 3%, the property tax savings is $300.

You will receive emails from CPT about additional information that might be needed for your hearing, protest results, and property tax deadlines.

No. A tax assessment is used only to calculate property taxes and is not the same as market value. A property’s sale price is based on recent market activity and buyer demand.

No, you do not need to attend the hearings. We will attend the hearing for you. After you register, we take care of the whole protest process for you.

Recent purchase documents, property condition photos, repair estimates, engineering/insurance reports, or a recent appraisal may strengthen your case. If available, email supporting materials with the property address in the subject line to info@campropertytax.com.
