those peaceful protesters are really something.

There are numerous property tax protest companies in Texas.  

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" If you have anything of substance to add to this discussion and show the flaws in the logic or arguments I present to support my position, please don't hesitate to tag me.  

Or protest property taxes?

The encouraging investment mantra is just spin.If you value the old Protestant work ethic you should favor taxing it fairly.

I know there are landlords that protest that including these items will expose them to unmanageable maintenance costs but to be honest we rarely get calls (I use top load washers - more durable and simpler technology than front loaders).

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.
