Property Taxes

Property owners in Bell and Coryell counties, along with others across Texas, are facing significant increases in assessed property values, potentially leading to higher property taxes. The Texas legislature is considering legislation to cap property tax increases at 2.5% per year. JWC acknowledges the difficulty in appealing valuations due to rising sales prices. Property owners can check their valuations online and protest if necessary, although the process may not always yield satisfactory results. Contacting elected officials may help influence change, as rising property taxes affect everyone.
