I am sending a letter (and emailing) directly to the seller today with everything laid out. Hoping for an amicable resolution.

Just to close the loop on this - It ended up being amicable. Seller is sending me a check for the amount requested. Thanks for the feedback in this thread.
It is not up to the CAD to figure out. When you request a homestead exemption, the form asks if you currently have it on another residence and informs you that you can only have it on one. Yes, they will eventually figure it out and cause headaches like what happened here.TXTransplant said:Ag13 said:

I've been lurking on this thread, and that is a fantastic result! So glad your seller did the right thing!
That leaves me to wonder, though, when you move to a new house but haven't yet sold your old one, do you actually have to request a "transfer" of your HE? Or do you just file a request for HE on your new residence and let the CAD office sort it out?
Because of the seller was living in the new residence, then claiming HE on it would be the right thing to do. If removing the old HE is up to the CAD to figure out, then the onus should be on them to get that done ASAP. If they don't, then they should have no claim to the differential (a perfect world, I know...).
