harris county: Protesting Your Property Taxes
- 01/04/12 03:56 PM
Appraisal notices for property taxes for the Clear Lake Area of Harris and Galveston counties arrive in the March/April timeframe and include the proposed market value and estimate of new property taxes for your home. The central appraisal district (CAD) uses market values of comparable properties (or comps) minus exemptions and other reductions (like appraisal caps for boom markets). However, this process is a mass not individual home approach and thus may not be accurate. When you get your appraisal, check to see if your square footage is off, the number of rooms is incorrect, or the age is incorrect. If (2 comments)
