Have been pulled from the MLS, according to Jeff Duffey. A trick, he says, to hide the sales price. I cannot blame Dirk: if DCAD finds out what a property sold for, they are totally going to slap down that tax bill for that amount. I think our property taxes are way too high in Texas. So remind me, Jeff, to do the exact same thing next time I’m buyin’.

Will do! But I’ve still never heard proof that DCAD has used MLS stats to up someone’s tax bill. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened of course. Just that I’ve never come across anyone that this has happened to. Let me know what you’ve heard!
