Up well over 10% and 40K. My i laws close to Houston went up 31.5%. Now do we see a need to close the borders yesterday? The use of hard earned money to pay for more government programs is ridiculous.

More people, more entitlements, more govt programs, more need to raise taxes and get whatever they can out of those who pay.gunan01 said:Turf96 said:

How does closing the borders keep valuations from going up? Please be specific.
Just to clarify, free school lunches and breakfasts are generally paid for using federal (USDA) funds, not local school taxes. So this issue is irrelevant to the topic of this thread.gunan01 said:
I don't think illegal aliens (and the horror having to give their kids free lunches) have anything to do with our property valuations rising at a ridiculous rate. I don't think "closing the border" (isn't the border already closed?) is going to do anything about these high valuations.
If you have any hard data (like how much money our county gives to schools for free lunches for illegal aliens) to back up your assertions please post it. Otherwise, it sounds like you have a lot of "feelings" and "theories".
How are they increasing your homestead by more than 10%?RGRAg1/75 said:
Wow....this thread just ruined my sleep tonight. Haven't received mail yet, so went and looked it up:
Homestead: up $60,500 on structure, land no change. Net increase of 13.2%
Investment: up $31,000 on structure, land no change. Net increase of 16.1%
What in the actual **** is going on here? Protested last year and apparently they wiped that from their memory banks.
Edit to add: both are likely higher than market. Investment certainly is by a good $20-25k based on comps I've seen lately.

2019 appraisal of unimproved 1.2 acre lot in Duck Haven just under $150k.
This is useful information. I've been thinking about using one of these companies, but I think we're just going to tackle it on our own.hudmoon said:

I used O'connor and associates last year. I went in for an informal hearing before I hired them and I was able to get them down $500 more than O'connor and associates did. I didn't take the deal because I throughly they would do better. Gonna try to fight it again myself this year. This sht is getting ridiculous.
