I bought a property in Aug. 2008. Since it was a model house, the builder had been the owner of the property for more than two years. When the ownership was transferred to me last August, I had to pay the builder's tax rate. Builders pay 15% more property tax that normal residents. Moreover, as housing price is dropping, the property was assessed at a much higher value before I bought it. So I ended up paying about $3000 more taxes than what I should pay. My question is how I can get this overpaid tax back.
