Install a water well or build a random concrete slab/foundation and park your car on it. I saved my dad a good chunk of change by helping him file at the tax office. School taxes, can't help you there...

User ID: 77853077 United States 11/24/2019 08:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Protest your taxes IN PERSON & EARLY. You may gather the comp's from a Realtor similar to your house. Best is find a home that is similar to your own home, paying less taxes than you. Take pics of your home outside only of where your home HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED. HAMMER HOME, (pun intended) all the things wrong with your home. Make you home seem barely livable yet no need to be condemned. In my county in Texas, the appraiser told me there is three ratings, CURRENTLY UPDATED & READY TO SELL, Updated & NO UPDATES from original build. Go for the one most applicable to your home. I RECEIVED THE no updates from original build, except new roof. I had pics & showed my front door damaged, busy Main Street, power lines. I showed my house in the worst light with a ONE ON ONE MEETING WITH APPRAISER. LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME. GOOD LUCK. I live in the north DFW area. Last Edited by Giselle22 on 11/24/2019 09:15 PM |

Don't just accept and pay them, look them over and dispute any over appraisals. Last year my house and land appraisals doubled over the previous year and another 1.5 acres with 7 pine trees I own was appraised at $82,000. I told the tax office to write me a check for everything, they "fixed" it quick. |

School taxes, can't help you there... Quoting: Too Dark Park™ Two the minute you put a concrete slab anywhere,your assessment GOES UP. a homestead exemption does shyte but is better than nothing. the ISD/independent sch district IS responsible for the THOUSANDS we are screwed out of and it's time the people residing in these high tax areas demand these freekkin schools MAKE DO w/their present mini-stadiums,equipment etc and DEMAND auditing on where their money is going w/results published publicly. FFS,this area IS high volume shopping,visitors ,motels, hotels b&Bs,bars,restaurants--so why the hell can't a slice of all the taxation generated by all these businesses be used for these schools ? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78198017 United States 11/24/2019 11:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Texas property taxes ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78198017 Here we pay almost TRIPLE what people in Texas pay for the same value house ... AND ... have a state Income Tax too boot. Cry me a river ... Wanted to add some real world numbers since that detail of what taxes are in various states is so far off for my state. Urban areas in my state, at the lowest, are 3% of fair market value PER YEAR in taxes, and some of them are over 5% per year (and the FMV is redetermined every 3 years - and is pretty accurate). Most city suburban area in my state are around the 3.5% to 4% of FMV per year range. Most of Texas is nowhere close to even 2.5% of fmv/yr, which is many thousands of dollars less per year in property taxes than most areas in my state. In fact large parts of Texas are closer to 1.5% OR LESS of FMV per year for their property taxes. |
