Are Austin property taxes high?

Yes. Austin and Travis County have some of the highest effective property tax rates in Texas, often exceeding 2%. Combined with rapid value appreciation, annual tax bills can increase substantially. Protesting your assessment is one of the most effective ways to manage your tax burden.

How much can I save by protesting in Austin?

Savings vary by property, but we typically achieve 5-15% reductions in assessed value. On a $500,000 home with a 2.2% tax rate, a 10% reduction saves approximately $1,100 per year.

Do you also cover Williamson County?

Yes. We serve both Travis County (Austin, Lakeway, Pflugerville) and Williamson County (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown) properties. Each county has its own appraisal district, and we file protests with both.

Local Context for Austin

Your Appraisal District

The Travis Central Appraisal District (TCAD) serves Austin, Pflugerville, Lakeway, Bee Cave, and other Travis County communities. Austin's real estate market has seen dramatic swings in recent years, and assessed values may not always reflect current market conditions—especially during market corrections.

Deadlines & Timing

Austin property owners receive their Notice of Appraised Value in the spring. You must file a protest by May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed. With Austin's high property values and tax rates, even a modest percentage reduction can save thousands of dollars annually.
