Appraised Value Notices Are Out

Did you get yours? I got a couple and for the life of me I don't understand how a 5 acre tract triples since 2009. I thought real estate values were down and not up. Any how there is a 5 acre tract next to mine that has been for sale for two years at an asking price of $20,000 and there has been no offers. Guess mine not for sale is worth more than the one that is for sale in the eyes of the appraisal district. Oh well time to suit up and get ready for battle! This is becoming a yearly battle and it should not be in my opinion. Eliminate the appraisal district's and enhance the sales tax. Then again Outsider has advocated shutting down the public schools and perhaps it is time.

Modus Operandi OF The CAD

Based on past observations of our CAD, it appears that appraisals are increased systematically. It appears that different groups are targeted each year. The taxing authorities keep us divided. This prevents a mass uprising.
The little battles that we think that we have won at our ARB hearings and in binding arbitration are insignificant. After the shakedown is completed, most of us have still been forced to pay a greater sum to the taxman.

We should be able to petition for change if we have the will to do so.
