Property Tax Protest in Texas

It's that time of year when Texas homeowners want to know how to protest their property tax valuation. It's right about now that we get a nice little letter from the county appraisal district to let us know how much we will pay in property taxes for the year. If you're like me, you kind of wince when you see the letter and then get wide-eyed when you open it and read the updated market value. This year my property went up an additional 6 percent after going up 52% last year. In this video, I'm going to explain the differences between market value and assessed value, what exemptions to put on your property if you don't already have them, what comps to use if you want to file a protest, the timelines to do all of this, and some general things to keep in mind. Lots of information here but all important to know if you're a homeowner in Texas because there have been changes to some of the laws from the last session.
