Worth appeal questions

The short answers. If yours isn’t here, email us and a person replies the same day.

When is the Worth property tax appeal deadline?

This year's Worth window has closed. Watch your address and we'll email you before next year's opens.

Do I need a lawyer to appeal?

No. Homeowners appealing their own home can file themselves, for free, on the county's website, and it's easy: every Morganwell report includes a step-by-step filing guide. Morganwell is not a law firm; we build the evidence and guide you, and you file it in your own name.

What does it cost?

The check is free. While we launch Worth, every full packet is $50 flat, one time. Never a share of your savings. Filing with the county is free. No outcome is guaranteed.

What's the difference between Morganwell and filing with the county?

Filing is the county's process and it's free. Morganwell is the evidence: we read the county's own records and show whether comparable homes are assessed lower than yours, in the form the county asks for, plus a step-by-step guide so filing it yourself is easy.
