It depends on what the appraisal district did to your property, and can't be answered or reflected in a headline. We do what we can.

Does that constitute a tax increase? It depends on what the appraisal district did to your property, and can’t be answered or reflected in a headline.

You should be specific, tax rate stays the same but taxes go up. It means a tax increase, whether it came from property, sales, user fees or whatever. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it must be a duck. Very dissapointed in this headline. Unless! homeowners businesses saw their actual tax amount go down.
