Humble brag
I've had way better luck being friendly with HCAD. And if you're using a Jubally report don't show it to them just take the info from the report and discuss it with them. They get way more defensive when they see that report come out.Guitarsoup said:
Informal is tomorrow. On my way to pick up the hard copies of the photos I took. Any other suggestions?

They wouldn't accept my pictures because they weren't good enough.
Offered 10k off or formal hearing

It honestly didn't matter what I said, did, or evidence I brought in. I am not sure why they even wasted my time
Because they are a government worker and this is how they do things. This was the informal.Bondag said:Guitarsoup said:

Because they are getting paid

There are two different entities. The Appraisal Review Board which conducted your hearing, and the Appraisal District which was your opponent. Your hearing was "dismissed" because you and the appraisal district agreed to a value, therefore the review board no longer had jurisdiction to make a determination of value themselves. Since you and the district agreed in front of the panel, the value that was agreed upon was recorded and the hearing on your protest was dismissed at that point.ChemAg15 said:
OISo I went to my formal hearing and I won without much of a fight. HCAD agreed to the appraised value I requested. However, I just received a letter that recaps my hearing. It lists the previous appraised value and then lists the value we agreed upon.
Then comes the second paragraph that has me puzzled.
"The board determined that it does not have the jurisdiction to consider or grant the relief requested. It is, therefore, ordered that the motion and/or protest be dismissed without further hearing or final determination for lack of jurisdiction"
Uhhh what? I live in Harris county so I'm not sure what they mean by dont have jurisdiction. If HCAD doesn't have jurisdiction then who does?
I checked HCAD.org and my property now shows the value we agreed upon in the hearing. Does anybody have an idea what this letter means? Is this just a misprint?
You can also get back taxes refunded if you were eligible for an exemption that you didn't claim. My sister was able to get 2 years of refunds when she finally added her homestead exemption and claimed it back to when she bought the house.JJxvi said:
Certain errors in the tax roll can be corrected going back 5 years if they are due to clerical errors, multiple appraisals, ownership, or if the property in question did not exist. If you did not file a normal value protest for 2019, there is also still an avenue available for that year to correct the value if you can show at your hearing that your value is overvalued by more than 1/3, but that needs to be filed before the delinquency date (ie by January 31)
