Did you get your Property Tax Notice in the mail?

Howdy Fellow Tax Payers!
I got my notice in the mail and the value only went up a few dollars. Great!!

My assistant got hers and her value is easily $30,000 more than anyone could sell it for. We must protest.

An acquaintance got theirs and it is easily $50,000 less than it would sell for. They smiled and left the conversation.

I hear from others theirs went up measurably. CAD (Central Appraisal District) advises they only upped the values about 2% overall.

My thoughts you ask? Property Values have decreased more than 2%. Taxpayers have a very limited window to request a protest. Must be filed by June 1 or 30 days from the receipt of the notice. Question we should all ask, can I sell my house for what CAD has it valued at?

Not sure, call your favorite REALTOR and ask for a CMA. Email me with your questions, check out www.PropertyTaxesInElPaso.com

Is CAD's delay in mailing notices of value tied to the election

Howdy all! I was reading the recent reviews of Mayor Cooks state of the city address. And for the record I was not there. So some are to think the address was timed to benefit his reelection? While this blog is not supporting any mayoral candidate, I am wondering if the Central Appraisal Districts mailing of the notice of appraised value are also late to benefit the election. Surely surely not. I have not heard anyone addressing the state of property taxes as they presently are. Plans are not to increase taxes with budget cuts and restraints but will we see significant increases in value to help revenues? I think a lot of us are waiting.

What time is it? It is Property Tax Time
