Get a real estate agent to pull comps for you house and go and protest yourself.iisanaggie said:
Ours finally posted today. It went up 30%. My husband called a protest company, but they quit taking clients 2 weeks ago. That is frustrating since we just got it. They did say we could go ahead and sign up for next year.
I don't have all of the answers, but appraising and taxing people out of their homes will eventually hurt the reputation of Texas (overall) being an affordable place to live and raise a family.
Their value is based on their value? So none of them have to relate to any actual value (what something is bought, sold, or listed for)? They can just make up random numbers and each one justifies another one? That's messed up.dallasiteinsa02 said:
I went and talked to them about my property. They didn't base it on comps that sold but their valuation of like properties. That is completely faulty circular logic.

There are two ways to protest. 1) based on your value is higher than your neighbors (with adjustments) 2) based on sales comps.
Texas doesn't require sales data to be submitted to the appraisal district so they don't really have much of that data to value your house. A realtor can get that data for you and you can use to protest. It is kinda crazy that all that data is easily accessible to realtors (and appraiser for the bank) but the appraisal district can't access it.

In many cases, the actual sale value in the last year is significantly higher than appraised. If you're like me and bought back in August, you have to either take the big bump in appraised value or give the actual sale price, which is way higher than appraised. Feels like there isn't a way to win in that situation

Question: I live in a neighborhood where all of the houses have been built recently. When I was looking at the home values on my street / nearby streets, some of the homes (which are completed homes, completed before but within a year of ours) have MUCH lower values than our home. I'm talking $50-75 less per square foot less than our home.
Any reasonable explanation before this before I try to use them as comps for a protest?

And it has trickled down apparently. Got lease renewal offer and rent is going up a lot more than normal (but less than it would probably e if they sold and we had to deal with new property owners as landlords). Guessing their property value went up and they passed it along.
Mine came in with no change.duffelpud said:
My wife protested the appraised value on a house she owns in College Station. The settlement offer came in today $12,000 higher than the original appraisal! WTF?
