We have helped a number of neighbors gathering info in preparation for protesting their property taxes, which jumped considerably for many of us. Country Place published sales of four homes in 2022 (we don’t have access to private sales). You can click the link below to see detail of these sales, which you will need to do in order to compare your home:
And here is a comparative market analysis showing greater detail of the sold homes. You can see the big swing in cost per square foot ranging from $127 to $184 a square foot; a lot depends on the home’s age, updates, and maintenance. Obviously, a forty-year-old home with no updates and a lot of deferred maintenance is going to appraise for much less than a newer, more energy-efficient home with up-to-date features. The spreadsheet below will give you a good idea of what Smith County’s appraisers are looking at in this current appraisal period.
