Travis County property investors far too often pay excess property 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. Woody Allen said “80% of success is showing up”.  The same is true of property taxes.  If you file an appeal and attend the hearing, your chance of reducing your property taxes is excellent.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal.  If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts usually settle appeals at the informal hearing since it costs less and takes fewer resources. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
