2025 MARKET VALUES ON THEIR WAY TO
TRAVIS COUNTY PROPERTY OWNERS

AUSTIN, Texas – Market values for the 2025 tax year will begin appearing on the Travis Central Appraisal District website (traviscad.org) today and Notices of Appraised Value will arrive in Travis County property owners’ mailboxes in the coming weeks.

Appraisal notices are being mailed to more than 488,000 Travis County property owners beginning this week. The notices include the market value assigned to a property as of January 1 and the taxable value of that property based on its exemptions.

According to Chief Appraiser Leana Mann, “Property owners can review their 2025 values on our website and should expect to receive their Notices of Appraised Value over the next few weeks. This is the perfect time to review your property’s information, verify your exemptions, and learn more about the protest process.”

Overall, the Travis County appraisal roll increased 4.1% to $482 billion. According to this year’s values, the 2025 median market value for a residential homestead property in Travis County is $519,677 and the median taxable value is $401,879. On average, single-family residences saw a 3.4% decline in market value.

In November, the District began sending verification notices to property owners who initially claimed a homestead exemption on their property between 1970 and 2009 and who do not have a driver’s license or identification on file. Property owners who have not responded to those mailings will see their exemptions are no longer listed on their Notice.

“It’s not too late to verify any exemptions that have been removed and ensure that property owners continue their benefits,” added Mann. “The process is easy and can be completed in just a few minutes online.”

Changes in market values do not translate directly into changes in property tax bills. Instead, values determine a property owner’s portion of the total tax levy. The total tax levy is determined by the budgets set by local taxing entities such as cities, counties, and school districts.

Property owners who believe their property’s market value is incorrect can file a protest with the appraisal district. The deadline to file a protest is May 15 or 30 days after a notice has been mailed, whichever is later. Travis County property owners are encouraged to file their protests through the TCAD online portal. Property owners who file via the portal can upload their evidence, review the appraisal district’s evidence, review settlement offers, and attend their informal meetings and formal hearings through their online accounts. Protests and evidence will also be accepted by mail and in person at the TCAD office (850 East Anderson Lane).

The informal process, which allows property owners to receive a settlement offer from the appraisal district, will begin April 14. During that time, property owners can discuss their property with a TCAD appraiser and potentially resolve their protest.

Property owners who do not accept a settlement offer during the informal process will have the opportunity to present their case to the Travis Appraisal Review Board (ARB), an independent group of citizens authorized to resolve disputes between taxpayers and the appraisal district. ARB hearings are expected to begin in June 2025.

TCAD will offer a webinar to help property owners learn more about their Notice of Appraised Value and the 2025 protest process on Tuesday, April 22 at 11:30 am. Property owners can register and find more information on their values and the protest process on TCAD’s website at traviscad.org.
