Checking & Protesting Your Frisco TX Home Property Tax Assessment Value

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with 3:16 team REALTY ~ Locally-owned Prosper TX Real Estate Co. #9001154

Every year, your Frisco TX home value is assessed by the County Appraisal District office, depending on where your home is located: Denton or Collin County. If you have received your estimated assessment this year and you do not believe it is an accurate assessment, you can file to protest the assessed value. You can go through an informal appraisal review process with a member of the District's staff first. If the informal process is not successful, then you can request for a formal review process in front of a panel.

To request an Informal Review, you may:

In COLLIN COUNTY

  • Do it in person at 250 W. Eldorado Parkway, McKinney TX, Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5pm and on Thursday from 8 am to 7pm in May. This is a first-come, first-serve basis so go just as soon as you are able.
  • By phone. Call 469-742-9200 or 866-467-1110
  • Mail to 250 W. Eldorado Parkway McKinney TX 75069

In DENTON COUNTY

  • 3911 Morse Street Denton, TX 76208, Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4:30pm
  • (940)349-3800

It is always advisable to go there earlier in the process, rather than later (closer towards the dateline Tuesday May 31st 2011, or 30 days after the notice is mailed to you).

The best way is to go in person and meet with a District Staff member. They will typically set up an informal review with you. During the meeting, unless more documentation is needed, you will usually be successful if you go geared with accurate information. What do you need for your Frisco TX home appraisal protest? You may provide the following relevant documents:

  • Contract (Signed and certified HUD-Settlement statement at the title company)
  • Comparable Sales Data (Your Realtor® in Frisco TX can assist you here)
  • Appraisals (If you have a recent appraisal, you may use this information also)
  • Repair estimates
  • Photographs (Nothing speaks louder than photographs)

The reviewer will evaluate your case and may change the appraised value based on the review or may not. If you are not satisfied if you were not successful, then you may file a written protest for a formal hearing with the Appraisal Review Board.

There is a deadline to protest. The dateline for both Collin and Denton counties are Tuesday May 31 2011, or 30 days after you receive the notice - whichever is later. If you decide to protest, make sure you start early. The longer you wait the long the process will be. So act NOW!

All 3:16 team REALTY clients will receive an annual property home evaluation during this time. All 3:16 team REALTY clients will and can expect top priority for getting this information to you - whether or not a protest of home assessment is necessary. It is just our way of saying Thank You for trusting us when you chose us to be your Real Estate company to take you through the home buying/ selling process.

All other home property assessments will be completed only after 3:16 clients are served. Non-3:16 team REALTY clients may be subjected to a fee for this home assessment property evaluation. Please call to discuss.

I think your efforts to educate your community about their property taxes is an important community service. This is one of the reasons why I subscribe to you blog!

That is an awesome service you are providing for your clients.  Property tax assessments are very important to keep on top of.  I know here in Bexar County, property taxes can get pretty high and lots of consumers can protest and don't even know it.  Great information!

Loreena, this is a wonderful service for your clients!  Those that do not protest their valuation inevitably have their values raised...whether right or wrong!

Loreena:

An appraisal (one performed by a state licensed or certified appraiser) can only be utilized by its intended user for its intended use.  If an appraisal was done for another use, say for a mortgage, it should not be utilized for tax assessment purposes.

Great information Loreena! I was just about to start working on my tax protest blog as well. I provide the CMA's to past clients and new prospects as well. It does not matter if it is used to protest taxes, everybody wants to know what their home is worth.
