Property Tax

[TildenHunter]

Mine went up $65k last year on my house. I protested on line and got denied. Went in prepared and stated my case and mine was lowered to a $30k increase. Not perfect but didn’t have to pay anyone anything. Don’t know if a service could of done better or not. Never used one but I wanted to try it myself. If you have a valid argument, they generally give a little bit.

There is a current debate in the TX legislature about lowering property tax rates and raising the sales tax rate to make up for it. A good trade if you have a million dollars in property but not if you have a $200,000 home and a family. Call your representative and senator before they soak the middle class.

What's a good company to use in the Bell county area?

You should try first on your counties appraisal website first. I protested then for a guy at work and they dropped his 50k. When I did mine it only dropped 15k. They had our houses appraised allot the same price. The Tarrant county site shows you what comps they used.

Only way I know to win is sell it all and live on a boat.

even though our tax burden in Texas is relatively low, it's an easy thing to gripe about... do it myself all the time.
I put a protester on it for all our properties and every once in a while I get a bill for saving me money... kind of like my wife at the mall!!
