Has Anyone Protested Property Taxes So Far This Year?
-
I just got my notice from tcad travis county, and the appraisal of my house skyrocketed more than I anticipated. I've been at the same location for years with no significant improvements, so this took me by surprise. I'm considering protesting, but don't know where to start or what types of evidence I need to assemble. Has anyone here used a service such as TaxCutter to assist with this?

Valuations can be way different even for comparable houses, and if you do nothing about it, you may be paying too much for years. They utilized TaxCutter and explained that it made the process quicker and less complicated, particularly when looking at property information.
