Your TCAD value is an estimate, not a fact.
Travis County, home to Austin, has gone through some of the sharpest swings in home values in the country. When a market rises fast and then cools, appraisal district values can lag behind, and the Travis Central Appraisal District's figures may not reflect what homes are actually selling for today.
In a cooling market, the sales the district relies on can be months old. Recent sales, price reductions and longer days on market are strong evidence for a lower value.
Texas law gives every owner the right to protest. We build the case with recent sales, equity comparisons against similar properties, and the condition and location issues the district missed, then negotiate directly with TCAD appraisers. If the informal review does not get the right result, we take it to the Appraisal Review Board. You never have to appear.

Common questions
What is the protest deadline for 2027?
May 15 falls on a Saturday in 2027, so the deadline moves to Monday, May 17, 2027, or 30 days after your notice was delivered if that is later. Your notice shows the date that applies to you.
How much does it cost?
Nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the tax savings we win. If your value is not reduced, you pay nothing.
Do I have to go to a hearing?
No. We file the protest, negotiate with the Travis Central Appraisal District, and represent you at the Appraisal Review Board if it gets that far.
When does TCAD mail Notices of Appraised Value?
Travis County notices usually go out in April. Your notice shows your deadline.
Home prices in my area have dropped. Will my value go down on its own?
Not necessarily. Districts often lag the market. A protest with recent sales is the most reliable way to bring your value in line.
Do you handle Austin properties in Williamson or Hays County?
Parts of Austin extend into Williamson and Hays counties. Contact us and we will confirm the right district for your address.
