Complex Cases Require an Expert Property Tax Protest
Special Situations Related to Recent Home Purchases
When a home is recently purchased, the sale price often triggers specific appraisal behaviors from the county. These “special situations” typically occur when a sale price is significantly lower or higher than the district’s mass-appraisal model.
Unusually Low Sales Price
If a home is purchased at a low price due to foundation issues, depreciation, or significant repair needs, the Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) will often set the first-year value at that purchase price. However, they frequently raise the value the following year regardless of the home’s actual condition. We specialize in assisting homeowners in keeping these values lowered for several years by proving the “Fair Market Value” remains stagnant.
Premium Sales Prices & The "Inequality" Problem
Conversely, if a neighbor pays a premium price for a home, the district may set their value at that high purchase price while leaving other similar homes in the neighborhood lower. This creates an Unequal Appraisal.
