We urge the Texas Legislature to fix the property tax appraisal process. The current system is placing an unfair burden on home owners, making Austin and Travis County increasingly unaffordable.

We have to address this tax inequity issue. The citizens are getting tired of footing the tax burden made greater by allowing commercial enterprises to “game” the system.

The legislature should require disclosure of sale prices for all real property and limit equity lawsuits for commercial and industrial properties

Sign the petition: A Call to Fix Our Broken Property Tax Appraisal Process








Equalize the tax burden!

Thanks for your efforts to fix the broken property tax. We believe you are going to be a Great County Commissioners.

Hope this helps. A lot of folks want to know why corporate entities get all the breaks!

Outraged as 31 yr resident of travis county. We are taxed out of our homes







I was at last night’s forum at the Unitarian church and was very impressed with the turnout and the information. I’m trying to find out where future forms are. How can I find this information I want to post it on my neighborhood email.


There has been a major shift in the property tax burden from big business to homeowners. Large corporations have the resources to sue for lower valuations with little transparency, and homeowners pick up the tab.



Property taxes are making our area unaffordable for median income neighbors who have lived here a long time and don’t want to have to sell and move. If someone wants to take advantage of the prices newcomers will pay for the privilege of tearing the little old house down and replacing it with a McMansion, fine and well. They should not be forced to sell though because they cannot afford the tax on the new appraised value. None of my other assets have true appreciated value until I sell. My property taxes are now $1000/month. And that does not include all the other fees and taxes that the City collects from me as a homeowner.
