How to prepare for your Texas property tax protest

I did a vlog about the process (from start to finish) on protesting your property taxes to show how much time I spent and how much money I saved. Jump to the spot that helps you most:

0:37 - Filling out your property tax protest form
2:30 - Evaluating the evidence packet from the county
3:56 - Receiving the hearing appointment dates & other info
6:06 - Reviewing the MLS database for comps
7:52 - Researching Travis county to see values of similar homes
9:18 - Pulling all the evidence together
10:25 - Hearing date at the tax office
11:05 - Recap of how my hearing went
11:45 - Summary of how much money I saved

I live in Austin, Texas and protest through the Travis central appraisal district. Many people are nervous about protesting, don't know what to expect or think it takes hours and hours of time. I hope this video helps you better understand how it works. You can save hundreds of dollars in taxes by spending just a few hours of time. I have been successful 5 out of 5 times and most people get a reduction when they protest.

Kudos to my amazing daughter who filmed and edited this video. I could not have made it without her!
