JP - Are ya'll not old enough to have or have had them "frozen" already ?

I've had luck before over the phone on mine. They know its BS, call em on it, they look at comps and adjust it.

They turned down my online protest. Now I have to set up an appointment. Problem with the online protests you can't enter any evidence. My neighbors lot is 1/2 acre more then mine but valued $18k less. I even wrote that in the comments.

You have reasonable people and a reasonable office to deal with. We have a clown show.

Its obscene what is going on and nobody wants to fix it.

Mine are not broke. I cant fix yours. Like even I cannot but I fixed mine because I know somebody and that is how this works. The protest process is a cluster in it self but you can win. Starting the process now put you 3 months behind. Timing is everyhthing

I think appraisers are required by law to appraise close to real value and while mine has increased significantly, I would not consider selling it at the appraised price even if I wanted to sell. The problem is with the taxing entities who keep the rate the same instead of reducing it to offset the increase in value. I am old enough that I get exemption or farm use exemption so it does not affect me too much, but property taxes is a flawed way of raising revenue to support cities, schools and counties. While those moving here have dramatically increased property values, they have also increased the costs of sevices and schools.

Even though my kids and grandkids are in Tx, the property tax issue is the main reason I've crossed Tx off my list to move to upon retirement.
