Also, if they do figure it out and think they can get away with it, they can remove the exemption for that portion by correcting the roll for the previous 5 years at the point they figure it out creating a possible unexpected decent sized bill.

In 77018 as well, in the same situation you are in. Bought in 2014, appraised at sales price for 2015. Ours did not increase at all for 2016...

quote:So you went in and did what you are suppose to do if you see anything incorrect on your property.
would it be less stupid if i told you i went in and helped them correct all the errors they had on file including incorrect rooms, square footage, even the sketch on file was not even close, etc when we bought the house?
its annoying simply because i know what i am going to get each year, and i don't dispute it.

Can anyone advise on new builds, as it relates to % increase? I'm assuming there is stipulation somewhere that states 10% no longer applies if going from lot value to standing value, just not sure where thats listed out.

What are new improvements?
New improvements generally involve improvements made to a property that were not pre-existing. An example of a new improvement would be a new swimming pool or a recent addition to your home. The enhanced value of a property due to the construction of a new improvement is considered in the succeeding and thereafter. This is true even if the year at issue was not one in which your property was formally reappraised. In determining the capped value for a property, improvements made due to routine service and maintenance are not considered new improvements.

**** HCAD. Contract put down in August and they valued higher than what I paid at closing in October. My neighbors are getting jacked up from 23% to 38% YOY. My house is 75 years old but recently remodeled and is coming appraised $28/sq ft higher than a 2 year old house and $94/ sq ft more than a house built in the same year but remodeled 9 years prior.

Holy ****! 77077 - Ashford Village: 30% increase on market and 10% on appraisal
We just bought the place in 2014, and got the increase limited to purchase price last year. Haven't made any improvements and the house is somehow now worth another $100k more!? How is that even possible!?
Will be reading through this thread for sure on tips for fighting this nonsense.
quote:That's the easy part. Even if I get down to my August dated contract's sales price I'll still be assessed $80 / sq ft more than my neighbor whose original build is the same year and remodel year 9 years prior. My house is considered in good condition and their's average.quote:

quote:Condition is irrelevant when they consider what the market value is using a sales contract. Your purchase price is absolutely an indicator of the true market value. You would have to show that your market value went down in the three months between closing and January 1st.quote:That's the easy part.
