Anyone have any luck? I have my ARB hearing scheduling tomorrow. I am hoping they're reasonable.

It's a county by county thing. Some may be reasonable, others not so much.

That's the secret they keep when bragging about no state income tax.

Property taxes are assessed by the county though.

I fought the law, and the law won. I feel like I got screwed, as the appraisal district used information and comparison software that they didn't make available before the hearing, which they're required to, by law. I referenced the law and stated that their evidence isn't valid, but the ARB didn't want to hear it.

* I get those yellow colored single page letters from the sheriff's dept. advising me that
" this letter serves as a warrant ,authorizing this dept. To seize & sell at auction the delinquent assessed property if payment is not made by such& such a date,,,no other notice shall be issued ",,,yeah, that has never failed to force me in making an immediate alteration to my upcoming next day itinerary,,,

It's going to quickly become a situation like filing for disability.

Unless you walk in with a lawyer, 95% of the time, they deny your claim.

vs where are you coming from?

vs where in Texas?

Couple of things before we start.

• Probably the biggest reason not to move to Texas is that most of the people you have to deal with here will end up being your neighbors. (No turning that **** off and walking away. Let that sink in for a second)
• If you're moving to DFW, the traffic sucks
• Fat people
• Guys with little things and BIG TRUCKS.

Any idea where in Texas? That can matter.

Neither pro nor con:
Due to migration of all sorts it's becoming less unique of a state.
Very little regulation on businesses, wacky zoning laws

Pro's
No state income tax
Great cuisine- I go months w/o ever eating any chain food.
Cheap gas
Relatively cheap housing (rapidly changing)
You'll probably never have to shovel snow again.

Cons
Property tax is unreal
Driving to another city is generally a 3 hour process
It's a border state
Hurricanes, ice storms or tornadoes, the state is diverse when it comes to weather, There just a small area in Central Texas that doesn't experience those 3, but it floods & come summer all of TX broils.
Outside of Central TX and the eastern forests it's not that pretty.... but that's subjective
You'll never make another snowfort

The problem is many of these pros and cons are dependent on where a person lives in the state.

How did it go?

Not good. Felt like they used evidence that they weren't permitted to use, but the review board didn't care. Arbitration will cost me too much to fight it.
