Care about people and their ability to stay in the houses that they have made into 'homes'. I would be ok if home values went below purchase price also and we paid still based on purchase price

I'm in Travis county not Hays, but I'll add my name. Travis will be worse. I'd like to sign one for Travis.

Appraisal value is not real money until it is in the bank!

My family ranch has been here since 1950. The tax rates have increased by ridiculous percentages over the past 10 years more than they did in the 60 years prior. This HAS got to stop! You're pricing people right out of their homes and properties that numerous generations have grown up on...

Our monthly mortgage went up $600/mo based upon property taxes. This level of increase based upon tax appraisal vs. purchase price 1.5 years ago is not sustainable.

Basing property tax values on imputed values drawn from recent sales is a travesty and does not reflect the true value of a home for which the owner may have no immediate plans to sell.

Our appraisals result in increased value and taxation to the point where it is ridiculous! This has to stop. Someone needs to step up!

We are seniors who are being taxed out of our home. These excessive tax burdens are destroying our lives and something must be done to stop this!

This is a critical issue for a lot of us seniors. Hard to pay taxes on appreciation we can only benefit from when we sell our home.

Hays County appraisal district (like most in Texas) is one of the great frauds perpetrated upon the residents of Hays County.

My property value for tax property base has almost doubled. There is no logic reasoning for that.

Our home's appraised value has increased more than 57% since we purchased it 4 years ago. County has repaired none of our roads that sorely need it and services continue to increase in price with less benefits.

Taxes in San Marcos are ridiculously off the roof. Being a retired person on a fixed income and having my taxes increase tremendously is beyond reason. STOP increasing taxes on existing senior citizens homes!
