+@NOW.
+@NOW. A
+@NOW. A LOT OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN
YOURS SHOOTING UP ONCE
AGAIN.
AGAIN.
AGAIN. THOSE APPRAISALS WE SHO+@ULD
MENTION HERE, WERE DONE
BACK IN JANUA+@RY.
THAT'S BEFORE THE WHOLE
PANDEMIC STARTED AND THERE
ARE SOME THING THAT YOU CAN DO
TO FIGHT THEM AND WE
HAVE BROUGHT IN ONE +@OF THE MO
KNOW+@LEDGEABLE PEOPLE
KNOW+@LEDGEABLE PEOPLE WE KNOW ABOUT THAT.
CHANDLER CROUCH WHO JOINED US
ON THE PO DCAST.
HE WENT VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA
TRYING TO HELP OTHER
PEOPLE FIGHT THEIR APPRAISALS.
HERE WE BROUGHT YOU BACK AGAIN.
WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF THESE
GOING UP AGA+@IN THIS
YEAR.

YEAR. A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY I DON'T
KNOW IF I CAN FIGHTN.
IN

YOUR LEVEL OF SUCCESS WILL
DEPEND ON THE COUNTY ARE

+@ WE
+@ WE HAVE SEEN DALLAS COUN+@TY
VALUES SKYROCKET.
VALUES SKYROCKET. TARRANT EXERCISED THE LEGAL NEW
-- I GUESS THINGS
THAT THE NEW PROPERTY TAX
REFORM BILL LET THEM.
THEY KEPT A LOT OF VALUES THE
SAME.
SAME.
SAME. EVEN REDUCED A LOT SO EVERY
COUNTY IS UNIQUE+@.
IT DOES DIDN'T MATTER IF IT
WENT UP OR DOWN OR
STAYED THE SAME.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT FAIR
I ENCOURAGE TO YOU
PROTEST.
PROTEST.
PROTEST. GET A LITTLE DATA TOGETHER.
BRING A LITTLE EFFORT INTO IT.
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL
WIN.

IF I FIGHT THE VALUE
THEN IT'LL MAKE IT LOCK LIKE MY
HOUSE IS LESS
VALUABLE AND THAT WILL HURT ME
WHEN I TRY TO SELL
IT.
IT.
IT. >>
IT. >> I
IT. >> I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE
THINK THAT.
THINK THAT. IT'S+@ NOT TRUE.
THERE IS NO APPRAISER, NO
REALTOR THAT WOULD ENTER
INTO A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION
AND REFERENCE THE TAX
VALUE AT ALL.
ANY MORE THAN THEY WOULD
REFERENCE A VALUE PUT ON
ANY OTHER WEBSITE.
THEY WILL LOOK AT MARKET DATA
AND THE+@Y WILL DO THE
RESEARCH TO SEE WHAT PROPERTIES
HAVE SOLD AROUND
YOUR HOME RECENTLY AND USE THAT
TO JUSTIFY THE VALUE
OF YOUR HOME.
IT COULD DECREASE THE TAX
+@
IT COULD DECREASE THE TAX BURDEN THAT THE INCOMING
BUYER COULD PAY.
THERE'S AN ARGUMENT THAT IT
COULD ALLOW THE BUYER TO
PAY MORE.

LOOKING AT THE WHAT
IT WAS WORTH LAST YE+@AR.
THEY ARE GET IT ALL TOGETHER IN
JANUARY.
JANUARY.
JANUARY. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS.
+@
BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS. DOES IT COUNT IF YOU START
TALKING ABOUT THE MONTHS
THAT HAVE H+@APPENED HERE DURIN
THE PANDEMIC AS TO
WHY YOUR VALUE SHOULDN'T BE AS
HIGH AS WHAT THEY
DEEMED IT WAS IN JANUARY OR DO
YOU HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL NEXT YEAR TO TALK ABOUT
THAT
THAT
THAT >>
THAT >> THAT'S ABSOLUTELY A HOT
BUTTON ISSUE AND THERE
+@ARE A COUPLE POINTS I WANT TO
BRING TO YOUR
ATTENTION.
ATTENTION. IT'S A LITTLE OFF TOPIC.
BEAR WITH ME.
EVERY COUNTY IS DIFFERENT.
SOME COUNTIES HAVE TAKEN THE
CORONAVIRUS INTO
CORONAVIRUS INTO CONSIDERATION MORE THAN OTHER
COUNTIES.
COUNTIES.
COUNTIES. TARRANT COUNTY WAS VERY
FRIENDLY.
FRIENDLY.
FRIENDLY. THEY WERE VERY UNDERSTANDING.
THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT PEOPLE NOW
ARE EXPERIENCING
ARE EXPERIENCING HARDSHIP DUE TO THIS VIRUS.
THINK ARE -- FROM WHAT I
UNDERSTAND THEY LOOK AT
EVIDENCE.
ON+@E
ON+@E OTHER THING. KEN PAXTON JUST CAME OUT WITH
+@
+@ HIS
+@ HIS OPINION ON WHETHER
OR NOT PROPERTY OWNERS SHOULD
+@ STILL BE AFFORDED AN
IN PERSON HEARING PROTEST.
HE SAID THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY
ARE AND SOME APPRAISAL
DISTRICTS ARE TELLING THEM THEY
ARE EITHER NOT
INFORMING THEM OR NOT TELLING
THEM THAT THEY HAVE
THE RIGHT -- THEY MAY BE
DISCOURAGING PEOPLE AND
MAKING THEM THINK THEY HAVE TO
DO IT OVER THE PHONE.
IF YOU FEEL IT'S UNFAIR,
PROTEST.
PROTEST.
PROTEST. THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT THAN NO
OTHER.
OTHER.
OTHER. YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS
TO PROTEST THE
PROPERTY TAX VALUE BY ALL MEANS
USE CORONAVIRUS AS
EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS
SOMETHING THAT'S DAMAGED THE
PROPERTY VALUE AND HURT YOUR
PROPERTY VALUE AND
PROTEST AND IF YOU FEEL LIKE +@
Y+@OU NEED A FORMAL
HEARING INSIST ON IT.
