There are always legitimate companies out there that can help - unfortunately they are frequently outnumbered by the illegitimate ones. In our area we provided comps to over 90 clients last year looking for a reduction. We did this free of charge and gave them a link to the Assessors form to fill out. In all but 2 cases their automatic reduction from the assessor came back within a few bucks of what the comps showed to be fair so they didn't even have to file the paperwork.

You are obviously unware of a recent class action suit wherein county assessors where blatantly ignoring true home values and only reduced property taxes slightly.
