Yep, if you don't appeal. That's why the appeal is critical. It may not reduce your tax this year but everything you give up this year, gets you next year.

---

Agreed. I fight even when they don't raise. Until my appraisal value is 0. I'll continue to fight. Hell even if it was possible to be 0. I'd fight 0

Every year I forget the rule.....they will raise your appraisal value to whatever they want but your tax can only go up 10%. However, they will just keep hitting you with the 10% every year until they catch up with appraisal value, correct?

---

On homestead properties. Non-homestead properties (rentals, vacation, lake, commercial, etc) can go up as much as wanted.

Yes, I have one of the latter as well. I'm getting DP'ed.

Kinky.

It's the Dallas DP. According to urban dictionary it involves John Ames and Clay Jenkins charging you too much yet not providing you anything.

All while they raw dawg you and make everyone where a mask.

Is John Wiley Price just watching from the corner during all this or what?

Mark it Zero, Donny

Logged in and the number didn't change, giving me a brief moment of hope. Then I realized the 2023 numbers still aren't out.

They'll probably submit the numbers online at 4:59pm and then sprint out the door.

You hit it pretty much right on the nose! They're out now.

No change for me after a 19% jump last year. Lower Greenville area.

Website currently not working

looks like they just got slammed by requests; surprise surprise…..no change from 2022

2022: A reasonable 13% Market increase last year, of which was capped at 10%. Made sense, value was in the ballpark for comparable sales.

2023: They decided to increase another 19%?!? So they think without doing anything, and in a stagnant market, I could get another $100k from an unsuspecting buyer?

My market value is up 76% as compared to the post market adjustments they applied the year after we purchased and there are no structural changes just new paint and new landscape.

L Streets of Lake Highlands

Main house: no change
Nice rent house: no change

Oak Cliff rent house: up 35%. Land up 17%. Improvements up 45%. Since 2020, this 1300 sqft house in the real Oak Cliff is up 115%.

Want to talk about lack of "affordable housing"? There you go.

Up 22% 2022
Up another 18% 2023.

Total appraised value up almost 50% in two years with no change.

Far North Dallas.

Mercifully I am flat from 2022 -> 2023 in Lakewood. My valuations are still insane though.

Up 20% from 2022 here in Lakewood. Lol. Last year they tried 15%, fought and got 1%. Time to fight again.

Mine isn't showing the capped value, just the market value that didn't change, still fighting!

Can I ask, I think you've stated before, but do you use a protest agent and who?

Tiffany hamil.

Damn. I have a free protest this year because I got a 2 for 1 last year. Not sure how it'll turn out, they only got about a 4% reduction last year iirc.

I understand it's impossible to review every property individually but because of the size and shape of my lot, I find the valuations particularly egregious. It's not a good candidate for a teardown new build and I just think the valuation of the land is totally preposterous relative to my neighbors

Hope those *******s get hit with ransomware again

+13% on homestead
+21.5% on rental

The rental is very much nearing what I would list it for. It'll be nearly impossible to cash flow it.

~20% increase in Lower Greenville

My house is not the biggest house on my cul-de-sac, nor does it have the biggest lot by far. But for some reason my house jumped up over EVERY house on my street for this year. A 95k increase when the other houses all jumped up around 50k.

Is that something that can be used in protesting??? My house has always been at least 20k lower than my neighbors (who has a yard 3x mine and a bigger house), and now this year it is going to be 20k MORE.

I use Chandler crouch to protest mine since I'm in tarrant county, but now I wonder if I would be better protesting myself. I doubt his generic system would account for using my neighbors values to support a larger decrease of mine.

Thoughts??

Yes, I would think that would fall under the "equal and uniform" category. The woman I worked for one summer had a whole model built for that kind of protest, but I don't recall the details. The protesting firms probably have something similar, and know best how to go after it from that angle.

I would not protest your self unless you've been bribing the appraisal district for a while.

My first year i protested myself. I got nothing. Did all the research did comps on my street etc. they said no. I was pissed I went to the company I posted before in this thread and protested again the same year. Showed them what I used. They walked in with the same data. They won and got a 0% increase.

Protesting these aren't about logic. It's all about who you know.

I hate to say this is correct....but this is 100% correct.

I don't know, I've protested every year and had good success. One time I went in front of the review board and won.

So who is everyone in Collin County using to protest?
