At $75/yr, I agree. At $300+/yr, different story.

Yeah no kidding. If it's anything longer than like an hour, it's not worth the time for $25/mo.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

You have to pay a fee to try and have your assessment revaluated so you'd probably lose even if you win in that case.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Are realtor comparables not sufficient, you have to go all out with a new appraisal?
I've read you get the $50 ARB fee back if you win.

You guys give the city too much credit. No one is coming out to re-access your house.
In my case last year, I spent an about an hour drafting a Word doc with 4 bullet points using some market sales data for the area.
To file the complaint cost $40.
The ARB called to settle and I accepted the revision with no meeting.
The ARB refunded the $40, because it was a mutual agreement.
The difference in my tax bill was over $800 had I not appealed.
Finally an actual example
So in your case last year, the $800 decrease equated to how much of a change in assessed value?

They dropped it $130,000 without a fuss.
Then raised it right back up the next year as per 20 posts ago

Yup, I'll need to appeal every year now. I'll probably just submit that same Word doc I did last time, but with 2023 data.
The City will drop your assessed value and raise your neighbours. Hope you dont like your neighbours LOL
I am thinking about this as well. Paid $640 in May, but in July it's worth $665? $25k in 2 months?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

~22% increase in my assessment, but I'm in a new community so the data/assessment values are all fucky
I actually encouraged my neighbors to appeal, and the one who did got a similar reduction.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
