COMPREHSIVE EVIDENCE

YOUR HOME'S CONDITION

Your pack will include essential details about your home. This includes your property's location, its current condition (new, remodeled, etc.), and any unique features. This information lays the foundation for us to tailor our research and compile the most compelling evidence for your tax protest.

HOME COMPS

We utilize real estate comparables, or 'Comps,' to establish the fair market value of your home. Sourced from our trusted realtor in Austin, Texas, these Comps compare your property to similar ones in your area, highlighting why your current tax assessment may be overstated.

STATE DATA

Our packet includes up-to-date state data on home price trends, providing a broader context for your protest. This information helps to establish whether your home's assessed value aligns with current market conditions and statewide property value shifts.

LOCAL DATA

In addition to state trends, we delve into local data specific to Travis County and Austin, Texas. This local perspective ensures your protest reflects the most accurate and relevant market conditions, supporting your case with precise, localized evidence.

NEARBY CONSTRUCTION

Construction projects near your property can significantly impact its value. We compile information on any ongoing or upcoming construction in your area, assessing how these developments might affect your home's appeal and arguing for a fair reassessment if necessary.

  • STATE DATA

    Our evidence pack incorporates critical state data pulled directly from esteemed sources such as FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) and the Federal Housing Finance Agency. This ensures your tax protest is supported by the most accurate and comprehensive economic and housing market data available, offering a strong, data-driven foundation for your case.

  • LOCAL DATA

    Our evidence pack integrates detailed MLS (Multiple Listing Service) data, providing a precise analysis of current market conditions and property comparables in your area. This inclusion ensures your tax protest leverages the most relevant and up-to-date real estate information, strengthening your position with solid, localized evidence.

  • CONSTRUCTION

    Our evidence pack thoughtfully considers the impact of local construction projects on property values in the Austin area. By analyzing how these projects influence the surrounding real estate market, we provide nuanced evidence that can play a pivotal role in supporting your tax protest, ensuring a comprehensive approach to capturing all factors affecting your home's valuation.

FAQ

WHO SHOULD USE TEXTAX PROTEST?

Exclusively for Travis County homeowners seeking to minimize their property tax obligations, TexTax Protest offers a unique solution. Our service includes access to a local, trusted realtor for accurate comps and extends to detailed research, providing you with a solid evidence pack. This pack is your key to contesting an inflated appraised home value with TCAD, designed specifically and solely for Travis County residents.

DO YOU TAKE A PERCENTAGE OF MY TAX SAVINGS?

While most tax protest services have a taxable reduction fee based off of 40% of actual tax dollar savings, we only charge a $50 fee.

WHY SHOULD I PROTEST?

Protesting your property taxes helps ensure you're not overcharged if your home's market value surpasses its appraised value, common in strong markets. However, due to homestead exemption caps, lowering the market value might not always reduce your taxes. It's crucial to understand these differences before proceeding.

WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR PROTESTING?

WILL YOU ASSIST WITH MY PROTEST BEYOND THE FIRST FILING?

While we specialize in providing you with comprehensive evidence packs tailored for your tax protest, our services are designed to empower you at the initial filing stage. If your protest isn't approved, our role concludes with the delivery of the evidence pack. We aim to equip you with the best possible foundation for your protest, but we don't extend our services to direct representation or guidance through subsequent stages of the process. We recommend consulting with a tax advisor or legal professional for further assistance beyond the initial protest filing.
