In an effort to distract from coronavirus, let's talk HCAD 2020 values!

My Jan 1, 2020 value decreased by 0.63% from 2019. Property is in 77389.

I protested my 2019 value and won, so to see it go down again (even if it's just $2k) is a win. Value is probably a fair assessment, if not a little low (at least until the housing market tanks).

WTH. Mine are up 8.5% in 77096. We protested (and won) last year, getting a 6% drop, but they've added all that back and then some!

~+2% in 077

Should be able to argue that down.

7% drop in 77096.

Of course, my house somehow shrunk this year as well, not that I'm complaining.

UP 14% in 77008. Increased 18% in 2019 but protested to a 7% increase at the ARB. I've come to accept that I will have to visit HCAD 1-2 times per year.

Up 20%.

Last year did a virtual protest and went from up 15% to up a few %.

Need to fight hard.

Up 22%. Bought in Dec 18 and protested with our purchase price. Haven't done any substantial renovations besides paint. Here's to another year of protesting.

Up 9.6% in 77055. Was up the same amount last year and got it reduced to less than 1%. Very annoying to do this dance every year. Here we go again.

If anyone needs any assistance with their property values, hit me up. I started my own property tax firm.

I was thinking the other day if they cancelled school for the rest of the year in some districts we should get a pro-rated refund from the school district for that part of our property tax.

I dont have an appraisal yet on my new place, but my old one in 77095 is up 4.3%. The new appraisal is just a hair under what I sold it for so good luck to the new owner in arguing that.

Up 5.5% in 77079. The whole increase is in the improvements. Land stayed the same.

Up 2.6% in 77379. All of the increase was on the improvements, land appraisal was unchanged.

I just had my house reappraised for a refinance. I assume worst case scenario I can use that value to protest?

I'll be working to get it lower because I thought the refinance appraisal was high. Refinance appraisal is still way less than the HCAD number.

Teachers are still getting paid. We are supposed to go to online learning next week.

And my district didn't even accept the revised appraisals after Harvey, despite the fact that about 300 houses flooded.

I'm in the wrong part of 77096 then.

Max 10% increase.... I'd love to see those comps

It appears to be 100% related to the new square footage number. Would have been flat otherwise

So I have a new build. My square footage is 2,617. Somehow HCAD listed it at 2945. How do a get these ****ing morons to fix that and then fix my value? Do I have to actually meet with them or can I just do something online? I have the appraisal that was done that shows my sq footage.

You should be able to do the iProtest and upload the builder plans. If they deny it, you'll have to go in for a protest.

Maybe so, but still a big difference either way.

What exactly are the builder plans? They are still building my floorplan so I can submit that from the website. But like i said I do have my appraisal.

It was my understanding that they usually get the property sketch from the builder for the square footage calculations. I would just send whatever supporting evidence you have of the actual size.

10%

77345. Went down like 2% last year from fighting. Guess they are going for their pound of flesh this year.

Up 10.7% in 77008. Worst part is that the increase is mainly in the land value, which is harder to fight. Land value is up 20% which is ****ing nuts.
