Tis the Season - for Protesting your Property Tax Value

Saturday, April 26, 2014
by Christie Cannon

The season is almost upon us.... property tax protest season!  So what do you do when that envelope arrives & your value went sky high?  You do have the opportunity & option to contest/protest your tax value.  Despite what some may lead you to believe, it is not a terribly difficult process.

While counties do have variations, tax protests start about May 1st.  While most counties offer easy steps & explanations to the process, the how & why a value was derived still leaves many of us wondering.  

Once again Texas A&M's Real Estate Center  has come to the rescue in this month's Tierra Grande, offering a wonderful article on the detai ls of the Property Tax Protest & Appeal!

You can find the article on their website - http://recenter.tamu.edu/pdf/2062.pdf

Need help or have questions about the comps for your home (from Jan 1st time)? - please feel free to give me a call...

Le Tour de France McKinney – otherwise known as Bike the Bricks is coming Friday, May 23rd!

East to get to…, great food & drink…. 

For those who have not yet seen this race… it is for big prizes, super-fast paced & exciting (think 500+ racers & speeds in the 40mph range on a relatively short course)  - now if only they had an Adult Big-Wheel Race option.

Hope to see you there!
