It's that time of the year again.
Our appraised went up $86k. Up 137k since we bought in 2012.

I'm trying to decide if it's even worth arguing. I think I can get it down a few thousand, but overall they are pretty spot on. We can still sell for more then the appraised value and could last year too, but some of the houses in the neighborhood didn't go for as much.
I want to retire and move to the country so bad. Unfortunately won't happen any time soon.Potcake said:

We just need the market to hold on 5-8 years for retirement and we're out of here.
Never do... the cycle is long, but the demand is still high for residential. I am shocked by some of the values I am actually seeing on the resale marketBitter Old Man said:
Anyone think they will go down as quickly when the market turns?

I think this is the problem. The current comps support the county. Which is why the Texas Property Tax System is absurd. To be taxed on your HOME based on what someone ELSE would pay for it (Market Value) is the acme of foolishness. I wish the people of this great state would get their heads out of the sand and demand something better.aggdave said:

I'm up 17% this year, and almost 60% since 2011.
Honestly, being a Non-disclosure state is what keeps us a slave to this system. If we became a disclosure state in exchange for our taxes staying tied to what we paid for the property, then I would be all for it. The Realtor lobby groups fight hard against it, not because they think its right for Texas, but because they don't want to lose control of the Comp information in MLS.

Just be sure they were using a higher square footage than the actual. Wouldn't want to get stuck paying backed taxes if they realize they weren't charging you enough.AustinScubaAg said:
Wow just found out my appraisal did not change. I plan to protest anyway. I had an independent appraisal and discovered they have used the wrong square footage for my house for the last 10 years.
