I purchased my home in December 2007. In 2008 the appraisal value increased by 14% from 2007, shouldn't be over a 10% increase! I paid my taxes on that value and now in 2009 it has increased 9%. Is there anyway to fight the 2008 appraisal value? I don't expect to get money back but I want to start at a lower value so I don't keep getting screwed.
jenny what you'll need to do is speak with your local assessor. depending on the type of government you have, you may want to have this discussion with your town or county assessor.
You should petition the assessor's office for a correction. Petitions are available at the county assessor's office or online.
Good luck.
