The Investigation of Property Tax Fraud

A builder and developer, Mitch, has uncovered significant issues with property tax assessments in Texas, particularly regarding the Denton Central Appraisal District. He found that the district altered property values dramatically without justification, claiming an increase from $1 million to $1.7 million on his property despite a drop in income. This aggressive manipulation, which Mitch discovered involved spreadsheets and questionable data practices, equates to fraud at a massive scale. The revelation of potentially 76% of the database being corrupt highlights systemic malpractice within local government tax assessments.
