Discover the Secrets to Successfully Protesting Your Property Taxes

We can help you get the right information to protest your property taxes.

Did you know that this is the year to protest your property taxes? With the market dropping about 15% year over year, this is the time to push back against the county and get your property tax bill to go down. To help you do this, we’re sharing a few things you should know. 


First, know that you can do it yourself online on the county's website, or you can hire an agency to do it on your behalf. We prefer to hire an agency because it's a lot of work, and we want to make sure it’s done correctly and that we save the most amount of money possible. 


Secondly, make sure to contact us to have us put together a comparable market analysis for you to use in your protest. Those haven’t mattered as much in the last five years, but now they matter again. Things have changed dramatically in Austin, so it’s time to push back, and we can give you the concrete proof that you need.

“Now is the time to push back against the county and get your property tax bill down.”

Lastly, we highly recommend using a professional. We use Home Tax Shield and wholeheartedly endorse them. You can click here to learn more about their services. Plus, they donate to one of our favorite causes in Austin, the Community First Village. Just make sure to act before May 15. 


Don’t forget that you can reach out to us for help with the comparative market analysis and much more. And as always, we would love to help you buy, sell, or invest in Austin. You can call or email us anytime, and we look forward to hearing from you.
