How to Protest Your Property Taxes in Texas (Free Webinar + What You Need to Know)
If you’re a homeowner in Texas—especially in areas like Dripping Springs—you’ve probably noticed your property taxes continuing to rise.
The good news? You have the right to protest your property taxes every year… and you should.
The challenge is that most homeowners either don’t know how the process works or don’t have the time (or data) to do it effectively.
That’s exactly why I’m hosting a free webinar to walk you through the process step-by-step.

Why Protesting Your Property Taxes Matters
Texas is a non-disclosure state, which means county appraisal districts don’t have access to actual sales prices. Instead, they rely on estimates, algorithms, and limited data.
That often leads to overvaluations, which means you could be paying more in property taxes than you should.
Even if your home value has increased, that doesn’t automatically mean your assessed value is accurate—or equitable compared to your neighbors.
What You’ll Learn in This Webinar
During the webinar, we’ll cover:
- How appraisal districts determine your home’s value
- The difference between market value vs. assessed value
- How to build a strong protest using equity and comps
- Key deadlines (including the May protest window)
- How the homestead cap impacts your taxes
- When it makes sense to protest—and when it doesn’t
- Live Q&A with an expert
Who This Is For
This webinar is ideal for:
- Homeowners in Texas
- Anyone who received a higher-than-expected valuation
- First-time protesters
- Anyone who wants to better understand how property taxes work
Final Thoughts
Protesting your property taxes isn’t just a one-time thing—it’s something you should evaluate every year.
Done correctly, it can reduce your tax burden not just this year, but in future years as well.
If you’ve never protested before or aren’t sure if it’s worth it, this is a great place to start.
As always, if you want help pulling comps or understanding your specific situation, feel free to reach out.
