We'll be taxing the shit out of you...

Got my notice from the City of Dallas that the city feels my property is worth about $40,000 more than I paid for it which happens to be about $7000 more than I think it is worth. I've begun taking photos and collecting data to submit in an effort to get them to lower my taxes. It pains me. I would be lucky to break even if I tried to sell the house today. Pretty sure even with what I've done, (and let's be honest I've already made drastic improvements!) that I couldn't see this place. Certainly piles of trash get taken away every time I have a bulk pick-up opportunity. But I seem to have an endless supply of trash to be carried away.
