It seems they are online now.

On average, I got a raise of 10% over last year. How is yours?

Well, ours increased like 15% each year for the past 3 years. Of course, our taxes were capped at a 10% increase, but it's going to keep increasing 10% a year until it catches up at least. Value went up about 8% from last year. Looks like another fight this year.

I think they should be forced to buy the property for their appraised value if they don't lower the assessment.

I'm afraid to look! Two homes for sale on my block, one (worst location) trying to get the tax appraisal value, the other listed their house for about $75K below, I know which one I'm rooting for!!

I was able to argue mine down quite a bit last year, hoping to do the same this year.

SW Austin. House value was down ~10%, but the land value doubled. End result is +~2.3%. Might be worth looking into, as the market seems very balanced. Will at least look at a few comps.

I so not look forward to WCAD's appraisal. Can't fight it because it's often pretty spot on. Our mortgage payment went up due to the increased taxes and it sucks. Another year of increased taxes and we've negated any benefits of the refinance.

Appraised up 5% and assessed up 10% here. The homestead cap is over 50% as much as the assessed so the next few years will be catch up. Really it is in line with market values at this point which hasn't happened since 2009/10.

Needless to say I will be voting against every single bond proposal from COA/Travis/AISD, even the ones I might get value from, e.g. aquatics spending.

Shoot, land value barely budged -- a change from recent years when the land value increased by leaps and bounds -- but instead the market value of the dwelling is up over 30%!!!
