How Good Can a 2% Value Be?

The budgets of the assessment districts are large, yet the average property receives little attention. Mass appraisal computer models are used by appraisal districts; nevertheless, both the model and the data include flaws. Property owners may benefit from the mistakes in the computer models used for the appraisals. Owners in Travis County dispute around 61% of the accounts valued by Travis CAD's total market value. Relatively few homeowners appeal, and the focus is mostly on business and multifamily properties. 94% of business owners and 99% of multifamily owners protested Travis CAD's estimated mass appraisal value for 2022. But in 2022, just 49% of homeowners filed an appeal. By signing up for the Property Tax Protection Program™, you can level the playing field.
