Here are the issues you will run into: Property tax, its a killer in Texas and it will make your payment go up-protest every year. insurance, also a killer in Texas, shop policies every year or 2.

So thousands showed up at the hearings to protest and were ready to file lawsuits against the city and county.When people have lots of money and do not want something they make their voices heard real fast.

Some young woman carry a traumatic experience of abuse around with them and the only way they can deal with it is to tell it to anyone who will listen as their grand protestation of accusing the world of having failed them.

It would present an opportunity for them to open discussion if they had any issue.2) If they protested we could provide them a copy of our plat, and if they still protested, I would be willing to hire a surveyor to mark the line officially prior to building our new fence.

Agent has claimed they are a) protesting the current assessment and b) taxes only go up over time  (in conflict with my factoring immediate sales-price assessment into my business plan to work back to offer price).Question:1) How are property values assessed?

To clarify:  Being absent for five years and not protesting any open and notorious use DOES expose a property owner in California to losing their "ownership rights" to another.  

So, I want to be above board and safe if someone were to protest.

I understand that peoples values over time change of what they want so that shouldn't be an issue until I'm really old.I have recently had a large increase in taxes which was partly my fault because I wasn't able to protest it.

We will protest and hopefully get it down quite a bit, but best to be safe, which it looks like you were.  

I am protesting the property taxes.
