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!
