The Evidence Packet Generator is a Pro tool that takes all your appeal evidence — comparable sales, assessment ratio analysis, property condition factors, and property details — and assembles it into a formatted document ready to present at your hearing.

What's Included in the Evidence Packet

  • Cover page with property address, parcel number, current assessed value, and requested value
  • Executive summary of the appeal argument
  • Comparable sales grid with adjustments and median value
  • Assessment ratio analysis table (if applicable)
  • Property condition factors with estimated value impacts
  • County-specific filing instructions and hearing tips
  • Signature line for the property owner

Step 1: Enter Your Property Details

Enter your property address, parcel number, current assessed value, property type, square footage, year built, and state. This information appears on the cover page and is used to contextualize your evidence.

Step 2: Add Your Comparable Sales

Enter 3–6 comparable sales. For each, provide the address, sale date, sale price, square footage, year built, and any notable differences from your property. The generator calculates price per square foot and the median adjusted value.

Step 3: Add Property Context Factors

Check any condition or location factors that apply to your property — deferred maintenance, flood zone, busy road proximity, etc. The generator adds these to the packet with typical value impact ranges.

Step 4: Generate and Download

Click 'Generate Evidence Packet' to assemble the document. The AI reviews your inputs and writes a professional cover letter and executive summary tailored to your specific situation. Download the packet as a PDF, print 3 copies, and bring them to your hearing.

Generate your packet at least 2 weeks before your hearing. This gives you time to review it, make corrections, and exchange it with the appraisal district if required by your state's rules.
