Texas is a NON disclosure state. DO NOT tell the tax authority what you paid for your home. They will send you letters asking you. If you tell them, you give them what they need to raise your taxes.
Property tax has been a very hot issue these past few years. Importantly, for the 2023 protest season, we are seeing some of the gains in 2021 and early 2022 (that the appraisal districts were quick to capture) slip away in some markets the last half of 2022. The appraisal districts may be slow to recognize this trend.
PropertyTax.io is a web application I discovered that will instantly tell you if comparable sales in your area can help you reduce your value for property tax purposes, saving you money. They are a leader in Property Tax education in Texas and they have been featured many times in various local media outlets. Most recently their founder, Glenn Goodrich, was a panelist on the 2022 Dallas Morning News Webinar on property tax. It was very informative and offered an "insider" perspective on the protest process.
There is never an invoice unless they actually save you money.
