The property tax system in Texas is a joke. Tax payers are not supposed to pay tax based on market valuation appraised by county every year. The extra property tax you need to pay due to market appreciation is similar to paying IRS TAX on your unrealized gain for your stock portfolio.
is this value is the market value or the assess value, because if it is the market value, this will help one bit, besides the assess value will never decrease.
This is the honestly the DUMBEST WASTE OF TIME. That office should be completely removed and everything should be done online. WHY WOULD SOMEONES HOME APPRAISAL GO UP 45% in ONE YEAR? WASTE OF TIME!
The door is always closed unless you knock. Did you try? Tax rates are a political decision, valuation is an estimate you can challenge. usataxfighters.org
Most people are too STUPID to protest their taxes and will blindly pay whatever is demanded from them. The few people smart enough to fight back won't cause taxes to go up any more than they already will.
I’m so sorry to interrupt, but that is false information. If you own a home on private property in the state of Florida and that private personal property is in NO WAY ASSOCITATED WITH AN ACT OF COMMERCE or profit producing activity….there is no tax due at all! Your shelter is not taxable. The exemption you are applying for it to separate your homestead from the peroration of your property that is operating in commerce. Start researching! Ask them to show what proof they have that a business is being operating on your property! All 50 states….your home is exempt from taxes!
