Have you protested your property taxes yet? If not, you're running out of time. The deadline in Dallas County, TX this year is May 22, 2023. You still have time, but not much.Once the deadline has passed, you *might* be able to get that waived - but you'll have to show you were in the hospital or otherwise unable to file.So here's an idea for next year: appoint a professional property tax consultant. This will keep you current with appraisal district valuations. They monitor developments at your local appraisal district office and they work to protect the valuation on your home. And - BIG NEWS - they monitor the deadlines so you don't have to!Companies that do property tax consulting are usually paid on a contingency fee basis - they get a percentage of the taxes they save you.  If they...

Yesterday I received a summons for jury duty. In the past, I have served on both a criminal and civil cases in Dallas County, but it's been a while.  This summons is for a Justice of the Peace (JP) court.  And it's for "standby" service. And it's for a 2 week block of time!What to do? What to do? I'm eligible to take a permanent exemption for being old. But should I? I asked for input from my Facebook friends and have arrived at the following conclusion after reading their advice: If I were in court, I'd want someone like me on the jury. So, I'm going if they call me off of standby.Since I've never been in the JP courts, I googled and was delighted to find out I won't have to go downtown. There's a government building not too far away, and I discovered that I *had* been there, outside, ...

The Town of Addison grew up around the airport, known by it's aviation call letters ADS. Beginning in 1957, and throughout 1976, the airport was privately owned and served business aviation. It still does. Twenty one years after its inception, the town of Addison became the owner of the now public airport and hired private management companies to run it (1977 -2000). At the turn of the 21st Century, the town took over the management and continues to own and manage the airport today.Some fast facts about ADS include: Preferred airport of corporate executives General Aviation Airport focusing on corporate fleets Located in the heart of Addison and less than 10 minutes from most office buildings FAA Control Tower is ranked 4th nationally by Pilot’s Choice Award Airport is city-owned and se...

Things were so different back in 1984 when I bought my first home. Interest rates were 21%. There wasn't a differentiation between buyer representation and seller representation, at least that had to be explained to the client. There was a good supply of inventory. And I didn't know anything about buying a house.As a recent post graduate student in the early 80s, affordability was a big issue. I had several years of teaching behind me but I opted to go all-in as a full-time grad student with an out-of-state tuition waiver and a teaching assistant gig. Once I got through all the coursework and was ABD, I got a real job and started saving for a downpayment.Having spent 4 years in an Addison apartment, living in a building with 7 other units, I vowed to never share walls with anyone again....

The Town of Addison's Parks & Recreation Department now has a pickleball coach - Ray Love! It also has both indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, not to mention plenty of avid players.If you're new to the sport, there's a beginners class every Monday at 9:00am in the gym at the Addison Athletic Club on Beltway Drive. The club is open to Addison residents and town employees only. There is a ONE TIME (not once a year) fee of $10 to join and you'll have to prove each year that you still reside in the town.If you're not familiar with pickleball, it's like a combination of badminton, tennis, and ping pong. And you'll probably have to forget most of how you're used to playing those sports to be able to adapt to pickleball.In the photo to the right, you can see coach Ray Love providing tips to...
