Same. We haven't done anything either. The only change is people paying insane amounts for houses in my neighborhood. If I didn't have to buy, I'd put it on the market and take the money.

Up 11% (market) in 77079

Up 50% in market and 10% in appraisal

29.5% in Kingwood, after just finishing up a binding arbitration settlement just 2 months ago.

Not property tax related, but there was a thread on my nextdoor around people buying houses and they've been vacant since. I was pretty surprised by the amount of people chiming in saying they've had the same with their neighboring houses.

Investment companies?

Institutional investors buy to rent, not to let sit vacant.

Now, foreign investors seeking to park their capital somewhere the tyrants of their People's Republic can't get their hands on it….they will let them sit vacant.

Was just talking to a friend in Bridgeland about taxes - checked his and he had a 54% increase in market value.

I'm impressed you took it that far.

Basically the same, also in the Heights. Much better than I feared - we did some speculative math on what we would list our house for if we sold it and it was +17%

Up 32% total over the last 4-5 years

+36% (market) in 77077

That includes a 44.4% increase in the land value...

Didn't even think to look at that on mine. 36% market increase. 66.7% increase in land value. Good job hcad in bumping that value we can't protest...

+44.7% in market
+45.4% taxable

Bought the house in April of 2021 for 32% less than the current taxable value!

Man - that absolutely blows. Need to obviosuly fight that one with all you got. Purchase price should be very persuasive.

I feel like HCAD rolls the dice with insane valuations on homes recently purchased. Worst case they get the actual purchase price for their dataset and best case the owner doesn't protest and they get to tax rape you harder.

Market and appraisal about the same. Up 9% in Timbergrove.

Up 21% in Timbergrove. They doubled the value of my improvements and kept land value the same. I guess because I tore down an old 8x15 shed and replaced it with a new 8x15 shed?

21% Mkt and 10% appraised in 77079.

A 26% increase.

Property taxes are rotten to the core. I've been thinking about putting in a nice backyard deck and a pool. That would absolutely blow my appraisal up.

31% in 77079. Ready to start building case for unequal valuation because I'm fairly certain I'm screwed on sales comps.

Bought our house in 77068 in Dec 21. HCAD shows +45% from 21 value with no improvements since and +15% over appraised value and purchase price.

Can I include our appraisal in Dec of 21 as evidence or only current comps?

Also, I went to Jubally.com and tried the property report summary and for "Market Value" it is about 18% lower than what I see on HCAD, but it says the "Market Value" is "The 2022 Market Value for this property as reported by the county in the public records".

So does that mean the market value it is showing is what HCAD is giving it? Because I see a way higher number on HCAD?

oof 37% in Bridgeland

All you really need is your closing statement to prove the purchase price.

any strong opinions re: "the best" tax advisor to use for protest? (I am def not doing it myself).
