Many local services in your area, such as schools, fire departments, hospital districts, and local governments, are funded by property taxes. See our explainer video (click here) for more on the basics of how property taxes work in Texas!
The amount of property tax you pay is determined by two numbers: your property’s market value and your local tax rate. Rates are set by local taxing authorities and you can’t change them. However, your property value is set by the county appraiser and IS something you can potentially change every year by filing a protest with your county. Home Tax Shield makes that typically labor-intensive, stressful process simple, typically achieving greater success than if you protested on your own.
