With the comps you have what do you think your property value vs CAD should be?

(a) The appraisal review board before which a protest hearing is scheduled shall deliver written notice to the property owner initiating a protest of the date, time, and place fixed for the hearing on the protest and of the property owner's entitlement to a postponement of the hearing as provided by Section 41.45 unless the property owner waives in writing notice of the hearing. The board shall deliver the notice not later than the 15th day before the date of the hearing.

Up 9.2% this year. A little peice of required information at the bottom of the page says its gone up 46.79% since I bought it in 2014. Jeez.
Edit: it's also higher than the estimated market value on Zillow.

Researched for hearing and found the appraisal for my property in Aggieland (a football townhouse Hwy30) increased each lot/land value (.1xxx of an acre) by 7%. On the surface this fly's right on by and most people go "oh well"....then the improvements got another 10%. I'm about 3 miles from Miramount and my land ($/sq ft) is valued higher than golf frontage at the most expensive place in town.....and when you think that the taxing authorities also have 7-8 properties their collecting from (utilities each month, etc) it is a total screw the little guy game.
I plan on playing that card in front of the board....but more egregious is that my 4 yr old townhouse (the improvement) is valued greater than the brand new, developer owned, exact same unit (multiple examples) 100yds from mine.
So....protect the rich neighborhood and protect the developer.....this will be a fun one. Been in front of the board multiple times in different communities and have never gone to court. Will not go in front of arbitrator, they're bought and paid for.
This would be a good one to be out in the public domain because of the implied favoritism and hot story-line that can come out of a lawyers' mouth.
You would have a complaint then.Our-turn-to-rule said:
Sorry, maybe wasn't clear. Our land (in middle of dense community) with townhouse sitting on top has a higher value as multiple owned ( not developer) $2 million dollar houses sitting on Miramount
And on this one as well.Our-turn-to-rule said:
Second question, developer units were complete and on the market for months.
I don't see anything non-developer for $40k or below.Our-turn-to-rule said:
You nailed it before, $40k

I went in for my 3 PM appt last Friday. At 4 PM I asked them how much longer. They had no idea and said there were "several people" ahead of me still. I asked them what would happen at 5 when they close, and he said "it probably won't be that long." I asked if I'm supposed to sit around to find out and then they just end up rescheduling me anyway and now I've taken off work early, and will have to do so again for reschedule. They offered me a reschedule, which I took so we could get on the road for the weekend. Absurd. Everyone waiting whispering same complaint.
