Dallas Area Property Valuations Going out

Please keep an eye out for your new Property Tax valuations in the mail.  They'll be going out the week of May 5.  It's very important to look at this document and make sure there are no problems.  I am currently working with some home owners who just found out that they've been assessed with a pool, and they don't have a pool.  They've been in the house for 30 years, and who knows when the pool was added to the documents, but even if it's $10k high because of this error, that's a lot over 30 years.

Dallas County will only mail out new assessments if your value changed.  If you don't get it, there is nothing wrong with calling the county's office and making sure you weren't supposed to get one.  Everyone in Collin county will get one even if the value hasn't changed.

You will have until June 2 to file a complaint with the Appraisal Review Board.  If you don't like your value after talking with the ARB, you can then file Arbitration with the state, and I am actually on the state comptroller's list for value arbitration.

For further information, Dallas county residents can go to http://www.dcad.org/.  Collin County residents can go to http://www.collincad.org/.

Remember, I work all of North Dallas County and Collin County including Richardson, Plano, Allen, Frisco, Carrollton, Garland, Rowlett, McKinney, etc... my car will take us anywhere you need to go!! 

 ARE YOU PACKED YET?!
