The Travis County tax appraisal process, managed by the Travis Central Appraisal District (TCAD), is essential for determining how much you owe in property taxes each year. TCAD assigns a market value to each property annually, based on factors such as location, square footage, condition, and recent sales of comparable properties. This valuation directly impacts your tax bill, whether you're a homeowner or an investor. If you believe your
Travis County tax appraisal is too high, you have the right to file a protest—typically within 30 days of receiving your notice. Understanding how the system works can help you avoid overpaying and potentially lead to significant tax savings.
