What is the difference between market value and appraised value?
Market value is the value in which the Tarrant Appraisal District thinks that the house is actually worth. While the Apppraised Value is the Homestead Cap, or the value limitation due to exemption.
You said you won my protest. Why am I paying more tax?
Our reduction is still higher than last year.
Value x Rate - Exemptions = Your Tax Bill

Should I sign up every year for the free tax protest?
No need. Once you signed up once, we will keep you on the list and protest for you every year unless you state otherwise.
I do not live in Tarrant County, can you help me?
Definitely. Although we would not be able to protest for any properties in Denton or Dallas counties this year. I did, however, negotiate the biggest discount anywhere for the absolute best tax agent I've ever met because I didn't want to leave you without a great option.

What is the difference between effective year built and actual year built?
If your actual year built this 1964 but the effective year is 1985, what is this mean? If the appraisal district adds $20,000 for an adjustment due to affective year versus actual year, should I try to contest the adjustment amount?
Someone must have pulled a permit in 1985 to add on or update the house in a significant way.
Ultimately, I would look at the sales prices of the comps you are comparing to and the sales price of yours and then ask whether or not those properties are comparable. If they are not comparable then I would angle to have the $20,000 reduced or find additional comps that prove the value you hope for.

Why is the offer value higher than the homestead capped?
When we protest, the only number they allow us to change is the Market Value. the Homstead Capped value is max limit they can tax you on because of the protection you receive by having your homestead exemption. We reduce your Market value as much as possible. Sometimes we're able to reduce it to a level below the Homestead Capped amount and sometimes we're not. Ultimately the market data dictates how low we can get the value.
Why is the market value the same with the homestead capped?
The amount that the value increasing is less than a 10% gain from last year.
