I will protest again. No improvements to our property, house, land, etc. We actually had some negative things happen and the dang thing still went up $21k. For those of you that are protesting, what are some of the reasons that you put down in the protest? Do you just say that "how can the appraisal go up when we have not made any improvements" or is there some special thing you can say to get them to lower the appraised value by $80k? Just wondering exactly what I need to say or do to get them to lower it. This is outrageous and my taxes have gone up $500 real money each year.

I had made an offer on a 3 bedroom 2 bath home in Rockport. Planned on using it on the weekends and Airbnb rentals. I spoke with a few folks that are smarter than me and they said I might break even at the end of the year after paying income tax on the rentals and property tax, and that dont include maintenance. I thought about a little more and did not make a counter offer.
I think it is getting out of hand, we gonna have to pay income tax or charge more sales tax and eliminate property tax.
