Evidence That Works
The ARB (Appraisal Review Board) responds best to:
- ✓3-5 comparable sales within 0.5 miles sold in the last 6 months at lower $/sqft
- ✓Photos of deferred maintenance (roof, foundation cracks, aging HVAC)
- ✓A written appraisal from a licensed appraiser (costs $300-500 but typically saves $1,000+ in taxes)
- ✓Unequal appraisal argument: show that similar homes on your street are appraised lower
