PPG Tax / Property Tax Services / Property Tax Litigation: How Do Your Texas Properties Compare?
Property Tax Litigation:
Ever wonder how your Texas properties compare to the rest of the market after their protest hearing?
We’ve compiled data from all 2016 resolved property tax litigation cases that are currently certified in Dallas and Harris Counties, segmented the numbers by property type and bundled the results into two compelling graphs.
The numbers don’t lie… property tax litigation pays off.
In 2016, on average, Dallas County commercial properties:
- went up 24-34% above 2015 final values,
- were up 14-31% after ARB, and
- were up 4-19% after resolution.
PROPERTY TYPE | FINAL VALUE INCREASE | ARB VALUE INCREASE | NOTICE VALUE INCREASE |
---|---|---|---|
Office Building | 6% | 10% | 11% |
Apartment (Garden) | 4% | 10% | 10% |
Retail Strip | 4% | 13% | 17% |
Storage Warehouse | 19% | 12% | 12% |
In 2016, on average, Harris County commercial properties:
- went up 19-28% above 2015 final values,
- were up 10-19% after ARB, and
- were up 1-3% after resolution.
PROPERTY TYPE | FINAL VALUE INCREASE | ARB VALUE INCREASE | NOTICE VALUE INCREASE |
---|---|---|---|
Office Building (Low-Rise) | 1% | 9% | 8% |
Apartment (Garden) | 2% | 12% | 6% |
Retail (Single, Multi, Strip) | 3% | 16% | 9% |
Industrial | 2% | 13% | 5% |
Did your ARB panel get it wrong? It’s not too late.
If you are disappointed with your protest outcome, it may be time to consider property tax litigation. While not every property is a candidate for appeal, the odds are that many property owners who settle without filing a litigative appeal stand to leave a significant amount of money on the table.
