11 News obtained a copy of his property appraisal protest. The Harris County Apprasial District originally listed the worth of Lay's high-rise home near River Oaks at nearly $7 million.

He fought it in August and won.

Instead of $6.879 million, Lay will pay taxes on property valued at $4.822 million.

The Appraisal district reported the new appraisal is comparable to other units in the high-rise where Lay lives.
