The real estate market has been robust, so expect notices from the county appraisal district that your property value is up over last year. Although many had hoped that the more than 100 tea party supported candidates who have taken office in the Texas Senate and House over the last three legislative sessions would finally act to lessen the pain of appraisal creep, a future with lower appraisal caps doesn’t look good for the 84th Session.
So, take matters into your own hands. Join County Tax Assessor Collector Cheryl E. Johnson who, for the 11th year, will teach techniques – not tricks – to help you “Effectively Protest Your Appraised Value.” Classes last about two hours. Dates and times are shown below. Registration is not required but if you do not attend, don’t miss the June 1st deadline to schedule your informal conference! The 2015 Handbook and Protest spreadsheet explained in the class is posted online at www.galcotax.com under the Press Releases and Important Information link.
