That was probably me. I guess we'll see.

Stop gapped at 10% increase
went up 29%
that's what happens when you protest and win one year, they get you the following year(s)… there is no "winning" unless you protest every year.

I have a house in College Station listed for sale.
The listed price Is 5 k below the 2023 county's market value with very little interest.
Just got the County's 2024 market value that is 45 k over our asking price.
Let the insanity of the annual fight begin once again.

I might be getting ahead of myself a bit, but I went ahead and signed up for OwnWell in preparation of valuations going up again, as enough is never enough when it comes to taxes. Referal code is below, $20 credit for you and me.

I signed up with them last year. Never heard one thing from them. Now this spring I started receiving a bill from them by text. I had no idea what this billing was for until I saw this thread and this post.
I would stay away from them.
Just got ours today in south College Station. 16% increase over last year. Absolutely insane. I wonder if Brazos CAD will buy it for the appraisal amount.
I'm in a new build...should I protest value? Not much too comps yet, I'm in Southern Pointe.
Castlegate. 2008 home. My appraised value is up 11%, same as last year, with increases in both land and improvements. It's now appraised nearly 100% over our purchase price. We have made no changes to land or home. Definitely would like to appeal but don't know what argument I can use.
Brazos CAD has lost their ever living minds. In Southwood Valley, total value went from $386k to 602k on a 33 year old house. I couldn't even come close to selling for $602k
I'm in southern pointe in south college station, bought new build in october 2022 for $315k appraised by BCAD in 2023 @ $323k and now 2024 valuation went down to $311k.

Don't worry. It's a game they play. It will go up $45k next year.
Mine only went up 5% this year, but I didn't protest last year. It is pretty close to what we actually purchased the house for now.
We did sign up for Own well so I'll see what happens and if I remember, I will report back. We also need to file for a homestead exemption, which apparently they will handle, so we'll see.

Up another 10% (60k) this year. Up nearly 300k from when we bought it 9ish years ago. Nice nest egg I guess if true but painful on the tax front. When do they freeze again? 65?

Filing the homestead exemption is easy. No reason to pay someone to do that for you.
They might be targeting Southwood Valley then, my improvement value jumped majorly from $233k to $301k. Land value stayed the same. Total $282k to $350k. Total appraised value up 24%. Homestead cap brings it back to $293k thankfully. I had an appraisal done to remove PMI early a few weeks ago, and it came in at $318k.
Rates freeze at 65, I think, but valuations may continue to climb.KidDoc said:

The tax-and-spenders are relentless and gain more power when we the people don't pay attention and don't speak out. Good these notices went out to folks in advance of the CSISD School Bond election and the runoffs for County Commissioner and Republican County Chair. Be sure to vote while holding onto your wallets or pocketbooks!

I feel like there used to be more lines on the exemption portion. Now it just says Bryan ISD as the taxing unit and HS as the 2024 exemption. Assuming HS stands for homestead? Feel like there used to be a separate line for the homestead and it was written out last year.
Appraised value is only part of the equation. We won't know our actual taxes until the tax rates are set.
Remember when you go to vote that the County, Cities and School Districts can offset these increases by adjusting the tax rate. We all know that they will double down and at a minimum leave the rates the same and say "we didnt raise your taxes this year"
I bet they all win their protests.
2024 values are live on the website.
Up 12% in Saddle Creek - freaking wild.
My property value decreased marginally in south College Station, but my taxes still increased to cover last years' $70k bump in value.

I suspect that is a typo in their system. Call them.

I just checked my street on Brazos CAD, all seem to have skyrocketed like mine. At 602k, they are putting my house at $222 per square foot. That is new build prices. It's insane.

You know, you can't have nice things anymore. I do have a pool and a spa though.
All they did was basically eliminate any homestead savings the legislature passed last session, wonder if this is a statewide problem.
Appraised value went down 30k

Mine went down $13k. I'll probably still argue for another $10-20k to get ahead of next year's screwing.
up 10% again…… Is there any well-respected service that will contest for you for a reasonable fee? Ownwell seems to have questionable reviews.
I'm looking also. Ornwell did nothing for me last year other than send me a bill
Are yall seeing valuations online or in the mailer? I haven't gotten it in the mail yet, and online it has "N/A" on 2024
