Many of you recently received your 2023 property tax assessments… Since property taxes are usually either your largest or second largest expense behind salaries, it’s crucial to keep them as low as possible to protect your profits! Our team has a wide network of vendors that we can connect you with in order to protest your assessments.
Here’s a recent example of how a tax hike can affect a property:
2022 Assessment: $8,900,000
2023 Assessment: $12,600,000
Property Tax Increase at 2.28% rate: $84,360/yr or $7,030/month. (This is a 41.6% increase!!!)
For a 250 unit property, you need to raise rents (or lower expenses) $28 per unit, per month just to keep up with the property tax increase.
Contact us to put you in touch with experienced property tax consultants who work in the markets that your properties are in.
With how much some of these assessments are going up, the income producing potential of your property is significantly being affected. We are in contact with specialists in each of the West/Central TX Secondary markets who can help you protest property tax assessments.
