2024 Analysis & Property Tax Info at 4919 Bellfalls Court in Temple

As of 4/23/2025
When it comes to considering your valuation from the county you have to keep in mind that the county will only consider comparable homes sold in 2024, which is the tax year they're basing their decision on.
Typically, the appraisal district will classify a comparable home that has sold within the same subdivision with a similar build year & square footage.
Because of that, I've outlined a plan A & plan B.
It's completely optional if you want to try plan A first or just go with plan B.
Plan A
The goal with this plan is to use homes from other subdivision that are older but is similar in square footage as your basis for the protest.
This will get you the lowest evaluation possible because these homes sold for a lot less.
When you protest, the county will ask for comps to support your protest & you can access that here: Plan A Comps
You'll also have to give them a value that you think the home is worth & you can give them the average of the comps which is $256,426.
Plan B
If plan A doesn't work then plan B is to have them lower the county assessed value to what you paid for the home, $282,000.
I found 2 other homes with the exact same floor plan that also sold for $282,000 & you can get those comps here: Plan B Comps
Closing thoughts
I wish you the best in getting the county assessed value down as low as possible & I'm confident that at the very least, plan B will work.
I'd love to hear your feedback on what happens with the county.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
