The study would also determine if residential property tax appeals are less prevalent and less successful for lower <br />value properties as compared to higher value properties. <br />Milestones and Deliverables <br />The following milestones and deliverables are intended to be representative of the needs previously expressed by Client during email <br />exchanges and scoping conversations. It is anticipated that this work will take approximately 6 weeks to complete. The work, specifically <br />detailed below, will be completed with a total budget of $4,000.00. <br />Milestones <br />●September 1, 2022: Service Agreement executed by both parties and work is initiated.
