Can the appraised value increase to the sale price when a house is purchased?
3,813For property tax purposes. I noticed many appraised values are much lower than actual value. Will appraised value jump to the sale price , or is there some limit it can increase?

I personally think that it's definitely possible! Of course it depends on how long you've waited before you confirm the sale of the property and whether or not you've been pricing your property accurately enough to begin with. At the end of the day you have to keep abreast to the situation in your own local property market.

Hi Philipp,
If the house is a homestead than the assesed value increased is capped at 10% per year. If there is no homestead, there is no cap. You can dispute your assesed value every year to keep it low. Some companies do it for you.

Most likely it will. HCAD keeps track of sales & will update values accordingly however on occasion they make oversights and don't update information.

Yes, when a home sells and changes ownership the property assessment can increase to the sales price or above. There is no cap on appraised value when a new homeowner applies for a Homestead Exemption. The sales price of property would be considered a good indicator of value by the appraisal district if they are aware of the sales price.

Yes the appraised value from HCAD can increase above the initial sales price of the home over time. If you have a homestead exemption, there is a cap on the increase in the taxable value. The appraised value will be the lesser of the market value or the preceding year's appraised value +10% +the value of any improvements added since the lase re-appraisal.
EXAMPLE: Mr. Jones' home appraised value for 2014 was $100,000. Mr. Jones has made no changes to his home. In 2015, the appraisal district determines the market value of Mr. Jones' home to be $140,000. Mr. Jones' value for property tax purposes will be the lesser of:
$140,000 (the market value of the home); or
The 2014 appraised value of $100,000 Plus 10%
Mr. Jones' appraised value for 2015 will be $110,000 = ($100,000 x 10%) + $100,000.
