Austin home values surged dramatically in recent years and are now correcting — meaning many Travis County homeowners are significantly over-assessed. We check whether a protest will actually lower your tax bill, after caps and exemptions, before you pay. If it won’t, we’ll tell you, and we won’t sell you one. If it will, we mail you a ready-to-sign protest kit for a flat $89: Form 50-132 filled in, your evidence, and an envelope addressed to TCAD.
Travis County saw 187,741 protests filed in 2024 alone. Here's why Austin homeowners have especially strong grounds.
Austin's real estate market saw some of the steepest appreciation in the country followed by significant corrections — creating major over-assessment opportunities for homeowners who protest.
TCAD appraises over 400,000 properties in Travis County. Rapidly shifting market conditions make accurate mass-appraisal especially difficult, benefiting homeowners who protest with current comparable sales.
Austin homeowners with high assessed values have the most to gain from protesting — even a small percentage reduction on a high-value home translates to hundreds or thousands in annual savings.
We prepare your protest and mail it to you with a return envelope addressed to the Travis Central Appraisal District. You sign it in ink, add a stamp and mail it. TCAD writes to you directly.
Most Austin property tax firms charge 25-40% of your savings. Here's how TaxAppeal compares.
On a $2,400 reduction, that's $840 in fees — every year.
Pay $89 once and keep every dollar of your $2,400 savings. No annual fees.
Join Austin homeowners saving money every year. $89 flat — no hidden fees, no percentage cuts.
TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation service. We prepare a ready-to-sign appeal kit and mail it to you; you sign it and mail it to the county yourself. In every state we serve, including Florida, we are not property tax consultants, agents, or representatives, we do not provide tax or legal advice, and we do not file appeals or represent customers before any appraisal district, board of assessors, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every appeal, protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and mailed by the owner in the owner’s name. In Florida your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes, and the county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee is paid by you directly to the county. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
