Property Tax Protest

June 2nd is the last day on which you can protest your property taxes.

We got our assessment in the mail the other day, and it seems like our appraisal went down, but our taxes are going up! Can someone explain that one?

Also, the best ammunition for a protest is to have documented comparable sales data. USA Today online has a feature whereby you can enter your zip code and they will display information about recent sales in your area. However, the data for our zip code is woefully out of date. Does anyone else have a good source for comp sales data?
