  • Yes. In many cases, it is. If a home’s taxable value isn’t challenged, it often continues to rise over time, and even small increases can add up year after year.

A property tax protest gives homeowners in Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, and Kendall counties a chance to push back using supporting evidence and market data. Even a modest reduction can lower your annual tax bill, and if there is no reduction, there is no fee.
