Homeowner needs to dispute an inaccurate property tax assessment without an attorney because attorney fees exceed potential tax savings.

Existing solutions are either too expensive for small savings (attorney $1,500 retainer vs $800-1,200 savings) or don't exist for self-service (DIY dispute process is complex and intimidating).
