Pay it the second you can and tell no one!

You know, I purposefully didn't put my trash out on MLK day thinking 'for sure they aren't running.'

Sho nuff, they ran garbage and judging by the fact only racist put their trash out, it was a very light pick up day (of mostly asian neighbors who didn't GAF).

I can't get it to glitch and show my 2024. Figures.

Rental property up 8%.

Still waiting on mine to be picked up…

Yup. My admin spotted this last week. Hit refresh and it disappeared. Def a glitch. This must be their CAMA cost bc everything should be in the valuation stages with the analyst.

What is CAMA cost?

Their in house Marshall and Swift.

Ah, thanks.

CAMA stands for Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal, basically the name for mass appraisal software that someone clearly came up with back when such ideas were the space age way of the future.

Does that mean the glitched numbers may or may not be the final numbers? Sure as hell hope so.

I would not assume anything until you get your notice in the mail.

Green bin trucks spotted in Oak Forest!!

Don't tease us.

Don't play with my heart like that.

They actually picking up recycling or being used as trash trucks?

Blue truck picking up green bins. Of course, they did not get the green bins on my side of the street.

Rolled my green can back out just in case. It's full of trash.

Blue truck, green truck who gives a *****

Those of us actually here that deal with it weekly.

This is fun. Your turn.

Buddy, calm down. It was a happy Gilmore reference. Good lord the trash angst runs deep.

Just got the glitch to work for my propeerty....it is beyond criminal the complete BS they are allowed to just randomly make up and then tax us on. I couldn't sell my house for a price within a $100k of what they claiming it's worth. Yes I'll protest, I always do, but I have to get it lowered by least $75k to even start affecting my taxes.

my green bin is empty!!

2023 property taxes are due today.

Mine isn't yet, but a truck just went down the other side of the street. So there's actually hope.

Wrote my rent check to the state today.

I hate all forms of government. I would not be opposed to sheer anarchy right now.

You never really own your property, don't you? If you don't pay your taxes, they will take it away from you.

At some point, one year, there will be a huge movement by millions to not pay. Then there will be change…after they come for bank accounts

Can't stand HCAD. Need some advice here:
1. We put on a covered patio last year, and in the midst of that painted the brick on our house and put in a new driveway (along with some landscape work). My home does look good, but it's probably economically misimproved with what's being built around me. NOTE: HCAD has the patio sf incorrect favorably to me.
2. HCAD comes out and rates me remodeled in 2023 and updates my condition to "Very Good" from "Average". Did NOTHING on the inside of the house - and it's not "VERY GOOD" on the inside. This may be the result of the wife kicking them off our property (see above) and this person just saying fine, I'll just mark it the best and force them to let me come back out.
3. All that being said, what do I do here - A.) Go in with Pics of the inside of the home to fight the "Very Good" condition with the appraiser. B.) Hire someone to fight it for me - if so, who? C.) Chalk it up as a loss to the condition knowing that I somewhat got an advantage with #1.
4. Open to ideas of what to do in this case - if this was your situation.
