Travis County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal. Appeal both every year. Winning a property tax protest is easy. Getting property owners to appeal is hard. Only 10% of Texan home owners appeal their property taxes.
Since 2019, neither the appraisal district or the appraisal review board can increase a property tax assessment during a protest. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level to avoid the time-consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
