Whether you own or rent, appraisal hitting mailboxes soon could impact everyone.
Some properties could see an increase in their taxes due to the value, but this year, there could be some relief.Property appraisals are arriving, leaving some homeowners looking for relief, which could be coming soon from Austin. If you own a home, your yearly appraisal notice should be arriving.
In Harris County, the appraisal district told ABC13 that 95% of all home values went up. Higher values mean you could pay more in taxes. "I would love that," homeowner Letty said. "Yes, definitely. That would help a lot. Us and the older people that already retired." "That's part of the budget surplus," Rice University political science professor Mark Jones explained. "Right now, we have a $33 billion surplus for the current biennium."
