Everyone with a homestead exemption had their property appraisal go up by 10%.

Mine is up 45% this year alone. Fortunately the tax is capped at 10%. I will be paying 10% more each year for a long time, even if the appraised value does not go down. Collin county.

We've always rented our home until last year. This is all new to me, and it's nuts! How can they justify saying that my home went from 130,000 to 180,000 this year? I don't understand that, sorry for my stupidity if it's already been gone over in here before.
Oh yeah, Johnson Co. |

Haven't gotten mine yet, but with Fort Bend County specifically being under investigating for systemic corruption relating to property taxes, I'm hoping this year will go as well as last year.
Hire O'Connor & Associates. They got my property value reduced by over 10% last year

Went up %3 on the home lot, but for some reason the empty lots went down the same amount.
The latter totally mystifies me since their value has been on a steady climb (doubled even) ever since we bought the things 11 years ago. |

Mine went up 15% but capped at 10. McLennan County.
I blame the Kalifornians moving to my area and paying more for houses than they are worth...or asking.
My sister in law just sold their house. Was not even listed yet...put sign up....a few people stopped by after seeing sign and they had an offer $10k over asking.

Fort Bend County - also maxed out the 10% by amount of appreciation they calculate I will be able to sell my house and walk way with some money.
not enough to buy decent acreage though ...dammit |

10% here as well in Dallas county. 2017 market value soared so it will probably go up again next year. I have to come up with $6,500 per year for a lousy condo and it's not that big. This is nuts, I don't even have a yard. Worth fighting?

Seems like nearly everyone is getting hit with the same 10% max increase.
Something to think about, if you increase it 10% per year for 7 years you will nearly double the value. I talked them down last year but since 2014 mine are up nearly 25%. |

Travis Co increased estimated value 22% and then limited by the 10% increase max for tax purposes.
I protested last year since they increased the structure value by 100k and the land by nothing. Got it knocked down quite a bit. This year, it was 75% land value increase, 25% structure increase. |

Mine only went up 1%, after O'Connor got it cut by over 8% last year  I'm hoping they get it cut even more this year.
Seriously, go hire O'Connor & Associates. You never even have to show up. You can even sign your paperwork digitally now. You only pay them half of what they save you in 1 year of taxes. Example with round numbers and ignoring exemptions & such: Your property tax rate: 3% Your home appraisal: $100,000 Assessed taxes before protest: $3,000 Appraised value after O'Connor protests for you: $80,000 (20% off) Assessed taxes after protest: $2,400 What O'Connor saved you: $600 What you pay O'Connor: $300 You are paying half of your one time savings for a reduced value that persists into future appraisals and increases are capped under the homestead exemption. If they save you nothing, you pay nothing. |

Appraisal went up 33.10%. That's on the heels of a ~20% increase a couple years ago.
I'll have to protest this one. |

Dallas County. New build townhome completed in 2016 that I bought last April. Down $11K overall, plus I get ~$70K exemption, total of about $2200 less in taxes compared to last year. I'll take it.

Tarrant. 40% increase.
Told it's due to new market conditions. Went from being in the middle of nowhere, to having 2 planned communities pop up with a starting price $200k over our original purchase price (new build), 8 years ago. 
We're trying to sell this year. |

@vellnueve Where's the 70K coming from? Not sure why value went down 11K as its new build in an up and coming area downtown. Then again, probably less room for massive increases in value in downtown versus the faster growing suburbs. |

Harris County
Mine was at 309K and they wanted to go to 331K. My neighbor fought it and got it to 286K. My tax saving on last years rates is almost $1600.00. She gets $500 of that savings. Totally worth it. |

Williamson county (Georgetown, super fast growth up here/exploding market).
They tried to go from $184k to $209k, so an attempted increase of $25k, so unless I suck at math a 13% increase, with homestead???!! We purchased at $195 and it should have been 189, but their scheisty realtor reneged on a verbal that we had the house while we worked up the papers to send after we'd already negotiated . Haven't even been in the house but a year maybe now, and they already went right to it.
Sent in our closing statement showing $195k sale price in May last year, and they came back to $199k. So we ended with an 8% increase. |

Another Collin County resident: assume 10% per year.
Keep in mind increased valuations also screw you when it comes to homeowner's insurance. |
