Concerned About Paying So Much in Property Taxes?

A Residential Property Tax Protest Can Save You Money

A residential property tax protest aims to lower the taxable value of your home and, subsequently, the amount of taxes you pay on that property annually. Considering Travis County properties are subject to some of the highest tax rates in the country, a successful protest could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars every year, depending on the value of your home.

  1. Makes it harder for the government to increase the value in the following year, per the law
  2. Helps future protests so that the government can’t argue you agreed with this year’s number
  3. Decreases the banked amount (cap) of tax increases in the out years (think liability)
  4. Helps neighbors, in that successful protests gain momentum and equity arguments strengthen
  5. Other issues are reviewed, such as characteristics, which will adversely affect the long term if not fixed now
  6. Having us as your agent and protesting keeps the government honest, as they know we’re watching and scrutinizing their work

The protest schedule allows for cases to be heard starting in late-March. Depending on when you sign up, you can expect to hear from us from late July to early November.

As the costs of Texas homes rise, so do their valuations — often because of overly aggressive appraised values. While these valuations may help the government increase revenue, for homeowners, they mean higher property taxes and more out-of-pocket costs every year.

But are these higher taxes warranted? In most cases, they’re not. If your home is over-appraised, it means the taxes you’re paying aren’t based on the true value of your home — and you’re the one who pays the price. 

You work hard for your money and it’s not fair to be overtaxed. We would love to serve you by lowering your tax burden, and through the process positively impact the lives of many in need. Fortunately, a residential property tax protest can help.
