<prompt> Human: Hey all,For some background I live in Houston, TX. This is the history of property taxes paid on the property from the countys website. 2011 : 961 2012 : 961 2013 : 970 2014 : 1090 2015 : 1078 2016 : 2328I bought the property in October and now I have this bill for 2328. How can I go about understanding the changes in taxes, or protesting them?Thanks  <response>: When you purchase a property that updates the value of the home in the assessment records. Youll need to go back and look at past years but my guess is the assessed value went way up.
