Can anyone point me to or know the limit on an appraisal increase for a piece of property?

I had one go up almost 30%. I thought there was a 10% increase limit?

Any help on the best way to attack this? I don't want to pay one of those firms who do this for you, but I'm considering it because I'm clueless in this regard.

PM sent.

Is it your homestead property or some other property like a second home or a rental?

Homestead. Newly acquired. I think the reset it based on our purchase of it, but I thought there was a max increase regardless.

From the Texas Property Tax Code § 23.23

The limitation provided by Subsection (a) takes effect as to a residence homestead on January 1 of the tax year following the first tax year the owner qualifies the property for an exemption under Section 11.13.

Thanks. So the 10% doesn't apply since I filed for Homestead this year.

That makes my case clear... now I fight based on comps. I'm WAY out of line with the neighborhood comps. I'm $40/sq ft higher than the average for my street.

Thanks again
