As far as property taxes…..You can always protest your property taxes if they increase to much from one year to the next.

People are already getting restless and protesting the way things are going now so I think things will get reopened sooner rather than later.People will want to get away and drive to destinations will be on the list more than flying, IMHO.As for waiting, I doubt you will see a drop in prices.

This appears to be absurd, especially given the two facts that1) At the shareholders’ meeting in December, it is said the building’s financial health is in good shape.2) The maintenance fee has been consistently increasing for the past 5 years for a total of more than 20%.I decide to protest against this transfer fee, even rallying the other shareholders.

However, I refuse to enter a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.Good luck to you in all your future endeavors.

Has anyone used the fact that a property is in a ETJ as basis to protest its assessed value?

Do it now before mental health advocates arrive to protest in front of your rental property on the 6 o'clock news.

Pay fast food workers $22/hour. 25% tax on anyone that sells a property within 5 years of purchase, any vacant hotel rooms must be made available to the homeless, stealing less than $1,000 isn’t a crime, protests against cleaning up parks, free drug needles, camping on the sidewalk and in peoples yards is a right, etc etc etc. 15 years ago NONE of these things would have been predicted. 

They lowered the assessed value (the one you could protest) and raised the tax rate (the one you couldn’t protest.).

The reason I was in such a tight spot in the first place is because my first broker didn't fully vet what he should have (despite my protestations).
