NTPTS conducts presentations for homeowners associations and groups throughout Dallas-Fort Worth. Our presentations provide information regarding the appraisal process, tax appeals and protests in Texas, how taxes are calculated, and more. Learn about special situations related to new purchases or contact our leadership team for more information.
Special Situations Related to Recent Purchases
Special situations related to new purchases typically have to do with the sale price being too low or too high.
Unusually Low Sales Price
Purchase prices that are unusually low are often based on foundation problems or depreciation. The Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) will set the first year at purchase price and, in most cases, raise the value the second year. NTPTS can often assist in keeping the value lowered for several years.
Premium Sales Price
The DCAD will often set the value at the purchase price but not raise other values in the neighborhood, which leads to an Unequal Appraisal compared to similar properties (neighbors).
NTPTS has extensive experience protesting based on this Unequal Appraisal, known as a Fair and Equal protest. This is the most difficult protest to win, but we have been successful in many cases.
