<AssessmentCheck />
Free
Two numbers in, one plain-English answer out: whether your assessment looks high next to a comparable sale, and by roughly how much.
Try it aboveProperty tax / over-assessment check
Is your assessment too high? Let the math answer.
Abate checks your property tax assessment against a comparable market value — free, in about two minutes. If the numbers look off, a $39 packet gets you ready to file: deadlines, the right forms, and a drafted appeal letter.
No login. No obligation. Just arithmetic you can check yourself.
Why trust the number
Deterministic, not a guess
The check runs fixed arithmetic — your assessed value against a comparable market value — the same kind of ratio an assessor's office is supposed to apply. No model guessing on your behalf.
You see the whole calculation
Every number in this box is one you typed. Nothing here is inferred, averaged, or filled in behind the scenes.
Self-help, your name on it
Abate gets you ready to file. You review, sign, and submit your own appeal — nobody files it for you, and nobody promises how it turns out.
<AssessmentCheck />
Try the math yourself
Type your assessed value and a comparable market value. The gap is computed live, right here in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
Enter both values above to see your gap.
Illustrative estimate only. The full check also factors in your county's own assessment ratio and a broader comparable set — this box shows the core idea: assessed value versus market value, as a percentage.
What ships
Three parts. Each one does a single job.

Once the math says it's worth a closer look:
- The deadlines that apply to your parcel
- The correct forms for your county
- A drafted appeal letter, ready to review and sign

Included
Appeal windows are short and set by each county — miss one and you wait until next year. Once you start a packet, Abate tracks the dates on your parcel and tells you when to act.
How coverage worksBuilt around your county's rules
Assessment ratios, appeal windows, and the correct form are different in every jurisdiction. The over-assessment check itself — assessed value against comparable market value — works the same everywhere.
When you move from the free check to a packet, that's where Abate does the jurisdiction-specific work: mapping your parcel to the right forms, the right office, and the right dates.

Questions, answered plainly
Is Abate a law firm?
No. Abate is a self-help tool. We check your numbers and help you get ready to file — we never file on your behalf and we don't represent you before an assessor or an appeals board.
How is the free check different from a guess?
It's deterministic math: your assessed value compared against a comparable market value, expressed as a percentage gap. No model estimating on your behalf — the same kind of arithmetic an assessor's office is supposed to use, run on the numbers you provide.
What's actually in the $39 packet?
The deadlines that apply to your parcel, the correct forms for your county, and a drafted appeal letter — ready for you to review, sign, and file yourself.
Does Abate guarantee my assessment gets lowered?
No. Nobody can guarantee that, and anyone who says they can is guessing. Abate tells you honestly whether your numbers look worth appealing, and gets you ready to make the case yourself.
What if the math says my assessment looks fine?
Then you've spent a couple of minutes finding that out for free, instead of paying someone to tell you the same thing.
Check the math. It's free.
