I know one can find property tax protest records publicized by the Board of Equalization / local municipality in many states, but I'm not sure if this is true for all 50. 

So you could potentially pay the transfer tax now in "protest" and later file an appeal.

If you buy a distressed property for substantially below its last recorded selling price, it may be well worth filing a tax protest.

This last market boom, where besides "affordable" housing, people were protesting Google shuttles (one character even had a Google bus piñata, and proceeded to smash it during a protest), I knew things were changing.

Example: Lease says -'Tenant agrees that upon non-payment Landlord may self-evict Tenant after 10 days' - Tenant agreed, Landlord agreed, a there's even a written instrument ---- Self-eviction still NOT legal if Tenant protests; because your Lease can not supersede the law and that law is interpreted by a judge and that judge may actually find you, the Landlord, as trying to circumvent the law and there may be real repercussions from doing so. 

An MOU is not a signed contract so you will see lots of protesting with some resulting in adjustments and additional concessions being made before this is finalized.

If they decide not to appeal, they still have possession of your property until the Sheriff gets around to scheduling the Writ of Removal... which they will likely protest on the same grounds.I would not want to be in the courtroom when the judge/magistrate hears you accepted more/less full payment and evicted anyway. 

Just protest your property taxes next year prior to May 15th and bring your settlement statement to the hearing 

Instead of smashing offices, homeowners are protesting outside to "protect their rights" but the cause of their anger is the same: developers slashing prices to move inventory.

Usually, public safety wins in these cases, but the NIMBYs  are loud and furious and have the Zoning Administrators on speed dial for protests.
