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. Unequal appraisal appeals are valid when the assessment is below market value. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

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. One reason it is difficult for appraisal districts to correctly value homes is they are not homogenous.  Some have been remodeled and some haven’t. 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.
