Almost doubled in one year (85% increase). And I'm protesting for sure. Just wondering if the easy way (ifile option online) would give me the same results as an in-person hearing.

Been a while since I been in the tax/appraisal bidness over there. We didn't have online protesting available. Does it preclude your ability to protest in person? That would make decision for me personally.

And one year? 85%? how the frick did they justify that? Is it more than just your hood? Is this some fricking fancy renaissance hood inside Harris county like Mid-City in BR?

What I was told is the online protest is always good for a 5% or so reduction, but if you want it lowered more, you need to go in person. Get a real estate agent to get you comps in your area.

Edit: online protest does not eliminate the opportunity for in-person protest.
