I just got my county tax appraisal notice today. I don’t think we are seeing as much a bust here in Austin as elsewhere. My year-to-year appraised house value went up 10%. They even specifically mention that it has gone up 25.56% in the last five years.
I don’t mind too much because my actual taxation did not surge up huge and the appraisal value is often less than fair market value. It generally means my house is worth more.
In other news, my truck apparently cannot handle 2500 pounds of sod. We tried to load it in the bed on a palate today and well, the suspension pretty much bottomed out. I just looked it up, 1800 pounds max. Yep, 2500 would do it…
