Has Anyone Heard From Their Appraisal District? CandysDirt Tax Doctor is IN
Troy Aikman has sold part of his dirt, the pool-cabana-sport court part, and we are hearing tales of multiple offers and homes being snapped up in 4 to 5 days, some not even in MLS. I am posting a home soon built by Mark Danuser that sold as a hip pocket in less than a week. Never hit MLS. Our marketing is heating up, so what does this mean to the folks down at the Dallas County Appraisal District? Has anyone even heard from their Appraisal District?

Dallas Country Club and Dallas Real Estate Taxes: Did You Know DCC Sits on a Greenbelt?

I may have told you that the Dallas Country Club sued the Dallas County Appraisal District earlier this year, claiming that the District has over-valued its lush 118 acres, which, as we all know, are located in a neighborhood of blue chip homes. The case is pending. DCAD put the value of the Dallas Country Club’s property over there on posh Beverly Drive at nearly $13.8 million, up about ten million dollars from a $3.5 appraisal last year. Sure got their attention. DCAD figured that with DCC’s new $27 million renovation, the land might be a bit more valuable, right? DCC did what every non-profit, non-tax paying blue-blooded American club aimed at keeping its dues low would do: it sued the Appraisal District.
Ad Valorem Taxes & The Elderly: You Can Defer Taxes for 8%
Last week we learned in the Dallas Morning News that about 3,000 elderly (that is, folks over age 65) and disabled Dallas County property owners are due for a fiscal surprise because of a computer glitch in the Dallas County Appraisal District that miscalculated their 2010 tax bills. That surprise is a higher tax bill than what they anticipated or were told, averaging about $333. They are also getting a letter of apology from the tax assessor-collector, explaining how DCAD screwed up. No one ever wants these kinds of surprises! Even worse, this hits people on fixed incomes who may have seen investment returns plummet in recent weeks. So sorry, they were told, but pay up for a Sept. 30 payment deadline.
