Print a Property Detail Report for the Subject Property
(yours). |
3) |
Bring up the Neighborhood Sale List for your property.
The
properties shown in red
indicate that your tax appraisal is too high. They might
not be good comparables, however.
Building
Size needs to be reasonably close (within 20% or so)
and building class must be similar. Focus on sales of
homes classed closest to yours. A class 6 home compared
to a class 4 home is not persuasive evidence, no matter
how red the number.
Print out Sale Comparable reports and Sale Comparable
Picture reports for good comparables.

4) |
Bring up the Neighborhood Equity List for your property.
Check
this list also for red
comparables of similar size and class. Even if the sales
support TCAD's valuation, you still have a strong argument
if your neighbor's homes are consistently valued lower
than yours.
Click
on well matched comparables in red
and print Equity Comparable reports and Equity Comparable
Picture reports.

5) |
Prepare your appeal by taking pictures of the comparables,
if needed, and quickly checking the computer at TCAD
for results of other protests nearby.
Scrutinize
your presentation sheets well. Be sure you have a goal
value in mind, the value you think is fair based on
the comparisons you have to offer.

File written protest on May 31, 2000, and attend your
hearings. |
