Grieving Assessments
How many grieved before? How many won? How many never grieved? How many feel fairly and equitably assessed?
What TOPTA is
TOPTA is not a radical anti-tax organization. We believe in fair and equitable property assessments and taxation for all property owners. We believe that elected and appointed officials should support fair and equitable assessment of all property. We support the education of all property owners such that they understand the assessment and property tax process.
