| | Azad v. Harris County Appraisal District - HTML Opinion (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | For tax year 2000, however, it was too late for Azad to protest in the usual manner because he bought the property after the time to protest had expired. |
 | | Azad testified that, although the contract price for the property as a whole was $2,200,000, the actual price, after subtracting the real estate commission of $132,000 and a cash distribution from the seller of $175,000 to be used as a tenant retention releasing inducement, was $1,893,000. |
 | | The problem with Azad’s argument is that he mixes inconsistent figures in his calculation to reach the desired result, thus leading to the perplexing and paradoxical result of the appraised amount of the whole property not exceeding one-third of the market value while a portion of the property does appear to exceed it. |
