The step-by-step to actually lower your property taxes | Y'all-itics special release: May 7, 2023

If you plan to protest your property appraisal in Texas, you’re running out of time. In many appraisal districts, the deadline is May 15. That’s why we aren’t waiting to release this special episode of Y’all-itics, which will provide pro tips to help you take your protest to the next level. One important factor to know this year before you get started: Your 2023 appraisal is based on research the appraisal district did last year. Exactly when they did that really matters, maybe more than it did in previous years. And you’ll learn why kitchens and bathrooms could make or break your protest. The Jasons are joined once again by one of Texas’ leading experts on protesting property appraisals, realtor Chandler Crouch. And he'll help you learn more about comps, codes, full agent reports and everything else you were afraid to ask to help you lower your appraisal, which could significantly lower your property tax burden. They also discuss why lawmakers haven’t done a thing to lower property taxes, despite many promises leading into the legislative session.

I had a slab leak in September, which had to be fixed with a re-route of plumbing. Would this be something I could point to? I went to protest my property taxes last year, and had a hearing scheduled in person. I pulled all the comps from my neighborhood, made color copies for all members of the hearing board, and when I arrived at the hearing, I was taken into a room with one person instead of the hearing room. Felt hoodwinked to say the least. They lowered my taxes by $200.

I’m sure that many people, including myself didn’t know what the Homestead exception was and that’s why they didn’t even apply for it😢

You can just look up comps in Harris county. No need for real estate agent to do that for you.
