Tax certiorari is a legal process by which property owners can challenge the assessment of their property taxes. The goal of tax certiorari is to reduce the amount of property taxes that a property owner must pay.

Property taxes are typically based on the assessed value of the property, which is determined by the local government's tax assessor. However, the assessed value may not always be accurate or may not reflect the actual market value of the property. In such cases, a property owner can file a tax certiorari petition to challenge the assessed value and request a reduction in property taxes.

The tax certiorari process typically involves filing a petition with the local court that has jurisdiction over property tax assessments. The property owner will need to provide evidence that the assessed value is incorrect, such as recent appraisals, comparable sales data, or information about any physical or economic factors that may affect the property's value.

The court will review the evidence and may hold a hearing to determine the appropriate value for the property. If the court agrees that the assessed value is incorrect, it may order a reduction in property taxes.

The tax certiorari process can be time-consuming and complex, and it is typically recommended to work with a qualified attorney who specializes in property tax law to navigate the process.

Overall, tax certiorari can be a valuable tool for property owners who believe that their property taxes are unfairly assessed. By challenging the assessed value, property owners can potentially reduce their tax burden and save money.
