The written argument it comes with

I am protesting the 2026 appraised value of my property at 3611 ANITA ST
(account 0221720000003) on the basis of UNEQUAL APPRAISAL under Texas Property
Tax Code Section 41.43(b)(3).

My home (1,580 sqft, built 2021) is appraised at $423,000, or $267.70 per square
foot. I identified 10 comparable properties in the same HCAD neighborhood
(8402.01), matched by living area, year built, and quality grade. The MEDIAN
appraised value of these comparable, appropriately adjusted properties is
$227.70 per square foot.

Applying that median to my 1,580 sqft yields an indicated value of $359,735. My
current appraised value of $423,000 is approximately 18% above the comparable
median. Under Section 41.43(b)(3), I am entitled to have my appraised value
reduced to the median level of comparable properties. I respectfully request
that my appraised value be reduced to $359,735.

The comparable properties relied upon, with their living areas, year built,
quality grades, appraised values, and value per square foot, are attached.
