I protested most of my tax bills here in Texas.

But the ones in my geographic area dont give for my project, there has been only one very rude one so far, :protest: which is not bad considering how many I have talked with at this point.

On the zoning hearings thousands of people show up to protest.

If it is, I would definitely protest the assessed value ASAP upon purchase.

Doing my first protest this year and had a strange experience at informal hearing this morning.Sales comps provided by the county (which I requested) clearly suggest that my house is overvalued by close to 100k (I'm in a mid-200k neighborhood) - I can explain why if helpful but that's essentially the situation.

We always put all the adults on the agreements unless they really protest and it seems reasonable. 

Also the owner could be using a tax protest service like many of us do here in the area. 

A seasoned landlord will be much better equipped to either tell them flat out "no" to having them on-site, or ignoring their protests because "Hey, it's not my house.

Get help interpreting local ordinances, if needed.The neighbors can protest and petition to block you.

My plan is to go directly from closing to the county tax office to start my protest.
