I'd like to, but when neighbors are selling their houses for $40,000-$60,000 more than mine is appraised at right now, I'm not sure what leg I would have to stand on.

I went in right after we received our notice. We have a new build which was valued way over what we paid, and way over our neighbors' comparative homes (all new houses). They changed it using the appraisal from our closing, but I think this will be an annual battle since I can't figure out why our number was so different from everyone around us.

I bought a new home in February and due to a mixup from the title company, brazos cad is just now listing me as owner.
The CAD appraisal is less than I paid (not by a lot though), but looking at similar build quality homes on my street, it looks like my current appraisal is about 10%-15% or so higher than it should / could be. I know better than to tell them what I paid, but are the comparables sufficient to push down the appraised price?
If so, it it sufficient to just call and say "but what about my neighbor down the street?"
Thanks,
What a charade. 11:30 appointment then told it's first come first served? Will soon be 2 hrs waiting and counting.aggiepaintrain said:
I waited 2 hours to meet with the ARB.
You are not legally allowed to protest land and improvement values independently before the ARB. Of course you can argue anything you want with the appraisal office.woodometer said:
So I clearly made the mistake of protesting online. I specifically spelled out in my protest that I was only protesting the land value. I have a town home that is on a very small lot. In fact the smallest lot in my entire neighborhood or any of the neighborhoods surrounding me. Yet all of the lots are appraised the same regardless of size. This is not hard to understand. Got my reply today. They cherry picked all of the houses and lots that are exactly the same as mine and used those as comps and offered me no change. I am so mad at the process I'm not sure I should even try to go before the board because it feels like the system is fixed.
