Texas Property Tax Guide
Property Tax Protest After Buying A House
A recent purchase can be useful evidence when the sale was arm's-length and close to the appraisal date, but owners should still compare the district value, exemptions, condition, and notice deadline.
Purchase price is context
Closing statements, listing history, concessions, inspection issues, and repair negotiations can help explain what the market actually paid for the property.
Do not ignore the rest of the notice
A recent purchase does not replace checking property characteristics, exemptions, and equal-and-uniform concerns.
