    81 gets his bean shined? :shock:

    I had a almost 30% increase a few years ago, did a tax appeal, hired a guy for 500 and it was reduced back to what i was previously paying. You wont be able to file until next April and if successful you should see it drop by Q4 2014.

    wow...twice a day, impressive!

    Wiki:
    The lower 6 feet (1.8 m) of Cloud Gate is wiped down twice a day by hand, while the entire sculpture is cleaned twice a year with 40 U.S. gallons (33 imp gal; 150 L) of liquid detergent. The daily cleanings use a Windex-like solution, while the semi-annual cleanings use Tide.[42] In addition to the scheduled cleanings, the work endures periodic vandalism, including a notable February 2009 incident during which two names were etched in letters about 1 inch (25 mm) tall on the northeast side of the curved sculpture. The graffiti was removed by the same firm that did the original polishing.[43]

    they did a sneaky one on me for 2013.

    I got a steal of a price on my house when I bought it in 2011.... caught someone in a shitty situation and got it well below market value.

    in 2012 they tried to increase it by 35%. I fought it, won, and got my tax value set at one i paid for this house.

    in 2013 they increased my value by about 11%... however the value is well below market, so I've got no leg to stand on in fighting to get it lowered.... can't even hire one of those low budget lawyers to take on my case... they don't want it.

    so long story short I'm out about $400 due to HCAD's sneaky tactics..... fuckers...
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
