Do you have questions about the property tax process? You\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n
Most Texans should have received their appraisal notices, and the deadline in Dallas County to file property tax protests<\/a> is May 15 or 30 days after your notice is received, whichever is later.<\/p>\n The process can be confusing, which is why Dallas Morning News real estate reporter Nick Wooten and assistant business editor Kyle Arnold will be live on Facebook<\/a> on Thursday, May 7, at noon to answer questions and provide information on all things property taxes. It will also be available later on YouTube.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cProperty taxes are complicated and stressful, and we\u2019ll do our best to demystify the process,\u201d Arnold said Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Dallas Morning News\u00a0recently launched TX Tax<\/a>, a tool to help residents of Dallas County protest their property taxes by finding comparable properties, generating a custom report and helping prepare homeowners for their hearing before the Appraisal Review Board. The service costs $69 per year plus tax, and a discounted rate is available to current Dallas Morning News subscribers.\u00a0<\/p>\n By protesting the market value of their home, homeowners can lower their annual property tax bill, and in Texas that can be hefty. The Lone Star State owns the ninth-highest effective property tax rate in\u00a0the U.S., according to analysis by\u00a0<\/a>Construction Coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n Wooten hopes Thursday\u2019s event will answer folks’ \u201cpressing questions about property taxes and provide some useful information.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Do you have questions about the property tax process?
