If you just opened your Burleson County property tax bill and felt that familiar punch to the gut, you're not alone. With the average homeowner here paying $4,000-$12,000 annually, and assessments jumping 15-25% in areas like Caldwell and Somerville, thousands of residents are asking the same question: "How is this legal?" The truth is, Burleson CAD makes mistakes β and those mistakes cost you money every single year until you fight back.
Here's what's really happening: Burleson County's rapid growth means assessors are playing catch-up, often using outdated comparables or missing property defects that should lower your value. We've seen $200,000 homes assessed at $240,000 simply because the appraiser used sales from newer subdivisions. Meanwhile, your neighbor might pay $800 less because they protested last year while you didn't know it was even possible.
The Appeals Review Board approves roughly 60% of properly prepared protests in Burleson County β but only 12% of homeowners who try to go it alone get meaningful reductions. Why? Because you're facing trained appraisers who know exactly which arguments work and which get dismissed. You need someone who speaks their language and knows how Burleson CAD operates.
Every year you don't protest is another year of overpaying. If you're overpaying by $800 annually (common for homes assessed above $180,000), that's $8,000 over the next decade. For many Burleson County homeowners, a successful protest saves $1,200-$2,800 per year β money that stays in your pocket instead of funding county projects you may not even support.
The deadline is non-negotiable: you have until May 15th (or 30 days from your notice date) to file. Miss it, and you're locked into another year of overpaying while watching your neighbors who protested enjoy lower bills. The county is counting on your inaction β don't give them that satisfaction.
You could spend 20+ hours researching comparable sales, learning CAD procedures, and preparing evidence β or you could let licensed professionals handle everything while you focus on your family and career. We know which properties sold below market in your area, which assessment methods Burleson CAD favors, and exactly how to present evidence that gets results.
