PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION WORKSHOP
with John Adams

One of the significant annual expenses faced by any Georgia property owner is ad valorem property tax. Depending on where you live, it can be as high as three percent of the property's fair market value, and it must be paid year after year after year.

As a result, efforts to minimize this expense are not only worthwhile, they are encouraged by Georgia law. The phrase "ad valorem" means that each property is taxed based only on its value, and no one is required to pay a penny more than the minimum the law demands.

At the Property Tax Reduction Workshop, real estate expert John Adams will review the system he has used for over thirty years to reduce valuations and assessments in Georgia counties and municipalities, saving himself literally hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.

In this 3 hour information packed seminar, John will teach you how to:

1. Understand the legal process of Property Tax Assessment
2. Meet the newly uniform Tax Deadlines
3. File your own Property Tax Return with a realistic valuation
4. Document your PT-50R with facts to support your case
5. Proactively meet with your Appraiser to reach an agreement
6. Protest your Notice of Assessment in an Intelligent manner
7. Give the Assessor an Opportunity to Save Face
8. Appeal to your Board of Equalization, in person or by mail
9. Make Your Case to the BOE
10. Take Your Case to Superior Court if necessary

If you are not doing all these steps now, you are likely costing yourself hundreds or thousands of dollars a year. If you own just one house, you could easily save over a thousand dollars over the next three years. If you own properties valued collectively over a million dollars, you are literally throwing away your profits year after year.

HOMEOWNERS: If you will follow my system, I personally guarantee that you will save at least twice the amount you invest in this program in reduced property taxes, or I will refund your admission and offer to help you myself.

INVESTORS: Stop flushing your cash flow down the tax drain and get your costs under control. This class is not only tax-deductible for you, it should be required under the Constitution of the United States as a defense against Taxation Without Representation!

AGENTS & BROKERS: This course has been submitted to the Georgia Real Estate Commission for three hours of real estate continuing education, and I fully expect approval. So bring your license number for proper credit. This course will help you become more valuable to your customers and clients. They look to you for real estate expertise - take this course and give it to them!
