Yes...11% higher (bought in Sept of '17)
Easy. Take closing docs to informal and you should get selling price.

Doesn't everyone protest every year? Why wouldn't you? I didn't think that was a novel approach.
I have my realtor pull comp sales for me every year and will typically atleast submit a protest. How hard I try depends on how well the comps align for me vs HCAD's supporting info. I've not had a situation/opportunity to protest with anything but sale comps to date. Been lucky to not have to argue damage, etc...TXTransplant said:MAS444 said:

Serious question: if your house is valued at or less than what you paid and/or comparable to or less than recent sales (and other appraisals) in your immediate neighborhood, what is the basis for a protest? Especially if you live in an area of new/newer construction (where no one is doing any significant remodels). I'd love to get my value even lower, but I have zero evidence to submit that a lower appraisal is supported by any data.

the angry "up 10% again" comments are easily my favorites every year.
Likely because they are looking at their appraised/taxed value (set by Texas law, not HCAD), not the market value HCAD sets.CDUB98 said:Diggity said:

Care to explain why?
This. Although, criticism of HCAD's arbitrary market valuation (which results in the annual 10% appraisal increase) is ABSOLUTELY fair.Diggity said:
pretty much.
I've no doubt that HCAD occasionally raises market value 10%, but every year you have a ton of people that act surprised that their appraised value goes up 10% until it catches up to market value.
Same. Not sure if will protest, but considering.chjoak said:
No change (77433) after going to arbitration last year and getting $19k knocked off. Time to call the realtor and see if I can justify knocking it down some more this year.
