My flooded soon to be demoed house in 008 is still pending

no increase...I am very surprised

Westbury not out..not a surprise.

No increase for me as well in 77095. A little shocked considering I live on what was an island during harvey, but I'm not complaining

No change.

I'm absolutely shocked.

Oak Forest

No change! 77008.

No change in 095 (NW)

No change on the house

Commercial valuations way up though

+14%

No change on the house - 77079 - and it's been aggressive on the '79 the last 5 years. Curious why no ones has moved. Impacts from Harvey too difficult to quantify?

No change in 77389 for the second year in a row. Value is the same as what I got it lowered to in 2016 when I protested (and is only $900 more than what I paid for the house in 2013).

I was actually having a conversation about this yesterday...there were about 300 houses in my neighborhood that flooded (although, they are in a different zip code). I was actually expecting an increase because my house did not flood.

Flooded home in KW - not out yet.

It looks like everyone who didn't flood, got the same value; everyone who did flood, still pending. Obviously just speculating, but my guess is that they are so overwhelmed with value re-assessments on flooded homes that they just "f-it" on the rest and just carried over the values for the non-flooded.

77009 up more than 10%

A small portion of my neighborhood flooded, don't see any street in my neighborhood who has been posted yet.

Had a friend who flooded and don't see their home at all, any reason ?

All the 77009 ones I checked had the same market value as last year. The taxable values increased by the max for homes that had a gap, but that always happens when there's a gap.

Changing would be poor optics for the government.

77019 - up 11% from where we bought our house 6 months ago....we will be fighting it for sure.

no increase again this year in the 77044 area.

I was referring to market value.

No change, 77379

no change in the 77005 - shocked in a good way

77009 lots went from $200k to $225k. In Brookesmith at least.

My improvements went up 10% too.

Still pending in 77079. We paid about 50k less than hcads 2017 market value in September of 17. 2/3 of our neighborhood flooded but houses are continuing to sell in our neighborhood. Since we moved in 3 on our block have sold, two of which were flooded. I'm impressed by the flooded sales prices. Longterm it looks like the neighborhood will continue to appreciate so u need to lock in my sales price for my 2018 valuation

No changes here-

Time to protest and make up some ground next year!

Down almost 10% in 77007...did not flood.

Easy. Take closing docs to informal and you should get selling price.

Filing my new homestead exemption, just a general residential exemption. My wife had the exemption on our old house (she bought it prior to us being married). Anyone familiar with this form? Do I need to select anything in Step 5 (Tax Limitation or Exemption Transfer). Most of the exemption transfers have to do with disabled and veteran exemptions and I think the other exemption transfer listed "Tax Limitation" (11.26h or 11.261(h) is old people tax caps.

Do I leave this section blank?
