Rewind: This Might be Your Best Year to Fight Property Tax Appraisals! Y’all-itics Rewind: December 25, 2022 - a podcast by WFAA

The holiday season is upon us and the Y’all-itics team is taking a break to spend time with family. But the Jasons wanted to share our top two performing episodes of 2022 with you while they’re out. We start with your property taxes, and why 2022 might have been your best year to fight them and save yourself some money in the process. But don’t worry, the same will hold true in 2023 and the tips you pick up in this episode will carry over into the new year. This episode originally released on April 25, 2022. And eight months later, the Jasons add some new context to our most listened to podcast of the year.
Original summary:Doesn’t it just seem worse this year? Many of us are still in sticker shock over our property appraisals, so this episode is all about how to reduce the amount of property taxes you pay. Turns out, your odds of winning that protest might be greater this year than ever before with half of the houses in Texas potentially overvalued. Wheeler is back for this one as the Jasons call up Chandler Crouch, a realtor, and an expert on protesting your property tax value. Chandler explains how to not only play defense in this process with the Central Appraisal District, but also go on the offensive. But the Jasons also zoom out and talk about how to reform this system politically. Texas’ property taxes are among the highest in the nation and home values have easily jumped double digits in Texas’ major cities. So, what exactly are lawmakers going to do to help us? We recently extended an invitation to Gov. Abbott to join us and have not yet heard back from his campaign staff. But his Democratic challenger this November, Beto O’Rourke, took our call even after testing positive for COVID-19 and explained his plan to lower the state’s skyrocketing property taxes. After all these years, can that even be done? (original release date: April 25, 2022)Guests
