​Mr. Cliff Mann, Madison County Tax Assessor, will be the guest speaker at the CNCA Meeting held on Monday, 26 Sep at 0630PM in the Community Fellowship Baptist Church located on Logan Dr just behind the Kroger Store. 
This is a “Must Hear” presentation that every home owner needs to hear regarding the impact of “curb appeal” on the sale of homes; the influence  that apartment complexes have on a community, and many other issues relating to the value of our homes. Mr. Mann has served as the President of the Huntsville Area Association of Realtors, and has served the community for twenty years as a realtor. Below are a few of the questions that he will address. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions too!

What are the contributing factors toward the decrease in home values within certain sectors of the City of Huntsville?

Is there any corollary as to why the decrease is within specific areas of the city (our older neighborhoods seem to be affected the most)?

How are tax districts determined, and what determines the tax district number in which a property is placed?
Is there a corollary between the tax district and the specific areas in which there is a noted decline in personal property values?

Does the assessor look at neighboring properties when evaluating the tax of a specific property?

Does the proximity of an apartment complex influence the property tax on a home? 

What can property owners do to reverse these negative trends in property values?

What impact does “curb appeal” have on the sale of a home?

What can city government do to reverse these negative trends in property values? If the value of personal property decreases, does the tax also decrease? How does the county determine whether a home has increased in value?

Does a swimming pool influence the assessment of property tax?

How frequently are property assessments conducted? What physical changes to a home influence an increase in property tax?

How can an owner appeal the current taxes on their home?  

Every home owner who is concerned with the appearance of your neighborhood and maintaining the value of your home needs to attend this meeting and hear Mr. Mann’s presentation.
