we also need to focus on repealing/replacing the property taxes in Texas.
We have some of the highest in the Nation.
This year, mine went up 80%. My land taxes 420%. The appraisals have no basis in reality. I was told at our appeal essentially that THEY determine the market value, even though I presented properties all around me that were twice as nice and big, at half my valuation. They are just not picking on me, my whole neighborhood is hit with the same crazy appraisals.
I thought we had a law that limited appraisal increases to no more then 10% per year. I when from 130k to 285k a couple of years ago. Galveston County is trying to drive all the long time residents off their properties so it (GC) can replace them with rich people.
