VI.         Eighteen wheelers are not permitted in the neighborhood.  If you see and 18 wheeler in the neighborhood you are encouraged to call the city for ticketing. 

VII.     In the month of May homeowners can go to the Dallas County Appraisal district and contest their taxes.  Make sure to bring the proper documentation (the documents you received when you purchased the house, square footage, when it was built and prices of sale for comparable homes in the neighborhood.)  You can find more information on www.dallascad.org
