County assessor takes a wild arse guess based on other properties and what they sold for in your area. It updates every year. You’ll pay based on what the last assessment was for your first year.
It's not a guess, but it's not great either. But if it sold recently, that is FMV, so that will be used. My appraisal went down because I payed under the appraisal amount last year and rates will almost certainly going down this year. So my property taxes are lower than last year.

I hired a company to protest mine after it went up 50k. That's when I found out my dumbass neighbor has never contested his so even though we have similar homes, his is priced 130k more than similar in the neighborhood. So who knows what will happen.

Try getting an appraisal now there are no real recent sales comps. trash the place up before hand. contest.

The simple fact is that suburbs should pay more in property taxes b/c they cost significantly more to exist and are subsidized by taxpayers living closer to the city center.
I’m certain I pay city sales taxes when I drive into town and buy groceries.

This hits retired folks on fixed incomes especially hard. Do we really want to be forcing folks in their 70s-90s out of their home and away from family, friends, and neighbors?
Exactly. At the same time their home and flood premiums also soar.
It’s a bad time for many elderly. Markets plummeting right at the need them.

Property taxes are my second most hated tax behind income taxes. How we ever allowed ourselves to rent our own property from the state is beyond me.

They only exist because the cities aren’t a safe/economical option for families. Fix the cities and you might get what you want. Something tells me you support all the policies that make cities shitholes though.

I hope this is a joke. Go do a little more research and check back in.

Shannon Nash owns four acres in Smith Point in Chambers County. In 2021, his property was valued at about $65,000. One year later, it increased to almost $382,000 in value.
"I was mostly just in shock," Nash said. "I called a number of people that I know around here and they were already in shock. They had gotten their bills before me."
In 2021, Nash owed about $1,700 in property taxes. In 2022, he will have to pay Chambers County more than $10,000.
Having trouble seeing appraisal notice and tax transparency for possible reason for increase which seems to have happened for market price, but right now summary is showing a $0 taxable value. County seems a little behind on website, so that might also be issue seeing reason.

You don’t know shite about my politics.
Read a little bit about the ticking time bomb that is suburbs and then check back.
Suburbs are fricking awful and bankrupting us all.

Meh, a company that challenges property taxes says you should hire them to challenge your property taxes. Most of these companies only get paid if they save you money. Worth every penny, and still better than paying income tax.

I own a 2 acre lot in a neighborhood in Angleton, south of Houston. Appraised value was 48k last year. Got the appraised value a month or 2 ago, and it went up to 104k this year.

Then don’t bitch about the higher property taxes that you need to pay for your cringe suburbs.
The city residents should not subsidize your choice to live in the bland arse, car centric suburbs.
Suburbs are just arse and need to be killed immediately.
Walkable, mixed use neighborhoods are what we need so car culture will fricking die.
City residents don’t subsidize suburbs. In some cases the people in suburbs are keeping crappy big cities alive with people willing to keep talents and/or business in city due to suburbs and their school districts existing.
Many suburbs are already part of city paying same taxes or have become their own independent entities paying their own way.
All forms have many people who don’t enter or need the city as much as you think. They aren’t just where people live but where they work as well.
Many that incorporate are also your closet chance to have safe “Walkable, mixed use neighborhoods.” You and your YouTuber bicycler pushing for donations and a book you use as your proof should love them.

California passed prop 13 in 1978 to control property taxes. Now it also led to the budget issues with the state government and ultimately ended the California dream of great public schools, parks and public services but it kept people from having to sell their house because they couldn't afford property taxes. We need a prop 13 in Texas.

Not bad a 12 year investment. Meanwhile. I’ve been renting in the same area…

10% a year is not a control. 10 years ago I was paying 6000 now I am paying 12 and next year it will be 13,200 and the next year 14,500. There is no end to being taxed on a conceptual future sales price. Cali has a limit of 2% per year.
