Nearly 800 Protest Appraisals Ahead of June 13 Deadline

By ANDY BEHLEN The deadline to file a property appraisal protest falls on Monday, June 13. According to Fayette County Chief Appraiser Richard Moring, 792 protests have been filed as of Wednesday, June 8.

Moring reported last month that appraisals increased by 17.4 percent on average countywide. In some pockets of the county, however, property owners are seeing their assessments increase by 100 percent or more. The Courthouse Square in La Grange is one of those areas. According to data from the Fayette County Appraisal District website, most properties on the square at least doubled in appraised value.
