The only form you should fill out is your homestead exemption
That might leave a lot of money behind.
You should fill out all your exemptions, and Texas offers a lot from Senior, vets, ag, etc. I get three exemptions.

Reminds me that I have never claimed a vet exemption. Headed over to the TCAD site now. Thanks!You should fill out all your exemptions, and Texas offers a lot from Senior, vets, ag, etc. I get three exemptions.
That ain’t gonna happen. The tax man only cares what he assesses it at, not what someone paid for it.
Not correct. I bought my house for abt half of appraised value. I contested the appraisal and had to show proof of purchase price and that the property was listed on MLS thru a licensed realtor. That got rid of the brother-in-law deals. They then adjusted my appraised value to what I paid. BUT as I got it fixed up the appraisal went up yearly until they got about normal but then I got them, I froze it.. Hee He
Did you not see post 20.
But to be pedantic, which I don’t normally like to be, the tax man does only care about what the appraised value is, as that is what establishes the taxable value of the property.
Yep saw post 20. I didn't have to show anything about needing repairs nor cost to repair. I just had to prove the price I bought it at. See the difference?

The company I use charges 40%.I'm lazy.
I have a company do it for me every year.
I pay them half of what they save me.
We closed on our house in September and just got a form letter from the above company requesting information on the type of sale and purchase price.
Is the Bexar County Property Appraisal District a legitimate official entity? If so, shouldn't they have access to the transaction records?

ETA: our state Constitution specifically states appraised value cannot exceed market value.
I got the projected assessment yesterday with the "value" listed at 120% of what I paid for the house (new) six months ago.
I need contact information for companies that can handle my appeal.
Thanks!
Whoa.... No, it's not. The word "property" isn't part of the name of any appraisal district. Sounds like a slick operation trying to sound "official."We closed on our house in September and just got a form letter from the above company requesting information on the type of sale and purchase price.
