Property taxes are pretty high in Georgetown, Texas. Anywhere in Texas for that matter. The last thing you should do is pay more than you need to.
In a previous post on property taxes in Williamson County, I revealed the actual value that the Williamson County Appraisal District appraised some homes for:
Boxwood Loop - Appraised for $171,607
Westbury Lane - Appraised for $160,324
Rosebud Lane - Appraised for $214,193
Greenside Lane - Appriased for $182,535
Well, here are the resuts:
Boxwood Loop - Adjusted to $153,600
Westbury Lane - Adjusted to $152,400
Rosebud Lane - Adjusted to $184,000
Greenside Lane - Adjusted to $158,300
That's a total reduction of $80,359.
Assuming a tax rate of 2.4%, I just saved $1928/year in taxes. Now that's worth fighting for! I believe that service happens before and after every transaction so I provide this tax-fighting service free to my clients every year. Did you get good results fighting your taxes this year? If so, let us know your experience. This blog gets more interesting when you give your feedback!

Good reminder Edward,
One of the BIG mistakes Realtors make is NOT educating their clients. I'm in Houston and people call me or contact me from my website from all over the country. They can't believe how cheap a house is in Houston.
I get emails, "I'm looking 300-$350k or whatever.
Then...well...
Then I tell em' about property taxes. They go into shock. In I'd say 50+% of the cases, we end up adjusting their price downward some. It's not a bad deal, you can still get a GREAT home in our area for 200-$250k.
But here's my point. If I don't educate the consumer up front, I am doing them a disservice. They need to know these things upfront. An educated buyer is a better client for us and far more likely to tell their friends, family and coworkers about us.
Keep up the good work Edward,
John
PS Don't forget, we're one of 7 states that does NOT have state income tax!!
