Expect to Pay A Lot More in Property Taxes
/Your Property Appraisal Notices should have already arrived in your mailbox...how did you react when you saw what was inside? Our guess is that you probably weren’t too happy with the large increase in your property taxes. Why does this happen every year?
Despite the economy declining over this past year due to the pandemic, the Texas real estate market continued to thrive, resulting in appreciating property values – that also means a rise in property taxes.
Property taxes continue to skyrocket here in Texas due to a combination of high demand and low inventory across the real estate landscape, as big companies and folks from other states flock in exponentially. Just so you can get a glimpse of the increases across Texas, here are the Estimated Average Market Value Increases of Residential Properties Over The Last 2 Years figures for major counties listed below:
Bexar County: 9%
Collin County: 11%
Dallas County: 12%
Denton County: 9%
Harris County: 15%
Montgomery County: 9%
Tarrant County: 6%
Travis County: 17%
Williamson County: 19%
So this begs the question, why would you need representation when it comes to your property taxes? Here are some eye-opening statistics:
In 2020, of those who filed their own protest, only 29% achieved a value reduction.
Of those who were represented, 70% achieved a reduction.
Not only is it time-consuming to protest on your own behalf, it’s difficult to compile all of the necessary data and evidence. This is exactly why Texas Tax Protest is here: to do all the heavy lifting for you.
