Up 31% in Lakewood. Weirdly my lot is down about 10%
They changed the methodology for my lot, it used to be just a flat valuation and now is $/sf. Structure is 2.43x what it was last year. Total BS.
Yep. I always want the increase to be in the house. It is almost impossible to argue land valuation.riverrataggie said:GarlandAg2012 said:

They did this to me 5 years ago. But inverse of what you are saying likely due to the size of our lot and having creek. Our lot is now 48/sq ft and improvement dropped considerably. Sucks Bc land is harder to fight.

big increase here. shiat.
Time to fight again. What are they going to do with the extra money? Our county / city services suck and continue to suck.

My recycling was missed yesterday and I just hit a huge pothole on abrams. I submitted a 311 report and asked if the city could perform the services now that they increased property taxes.
Lol. Not even kidding...one of the reasons (albeit a minor one) we moved out of East Dallas was because my wife was sick and tired of the horrific roads over there. I was constantly needing tire and wheel repairs on my old car when we lived there.riverrataggie said:$30,000 Millionaire said:

They haven't increased them yet. This week's announcement had little to nothing to do with your tax rate.

My appraised market value went up ~30% from last year. I've been set up so my max taxable appraised value should still be way, way, way below that appraised market value. We really should sell and move further out right now while prices are stupid.

A good example is the quarter acre lots where I am north of frisco in a new subdivision in the middle of a farmers field have been valued at $165K by Collin CAD. This is for dirt in the middle of a corn field a mile away from where the DNT expansion is supposed to happen. I

When I say priced out, I really mean that the cost gap has closed to the point that it almost makes zero financial sense to move out of Dallas to try and save money. I would be taking on similar cost and adding to my wife's commute.
Only way it makes sense for us to sell is if we are completely leaving North Texas.

I can't tell you how many times I've contemplated moving out to Glenrose or some other similar smaller outer fringe town.

I'm not sure what we are going to do. My wife has fully made the decision she is leaving her company though. Been talking about it for a year but she's mentally there now. Has applied for other jobs all over the damn country.riverrataggie said:YouBet said:It really is wild that me living in North Dallas is essentially priced out of moving to the suburbs.

My wife and I have already made this decision. We don't have family here and we both moved for jobs. We are fortunate, worked our butts off and have really good jobs. That said, another decade max, but will take it year by year. Have already started to make moves in real estate to get out of north Texas.

No. When you purchase it is there chance to get it to market. How would you honestly argue they are wrong.Goodbull_19 said:YouBet said:

Any recommendations on one of these firms? I just bought my house in November and got appraised for my purchase price pretty much to the dollar. Think I would still have any luck?

Has anyone protested and had success even though they also had major improvements done during that last year? We did a complete overhaul of the landscape on the house in 2021, as well as a new roof and paint. Even though the market value went up 33%, the homestead cap only allowed the taxable value to increase 9.5%. We live in one of the hottest housing areas in East Dallas with everything selling well above asking which is already well above market. I just feel like this would be a fruitless endeavor.
