Rents vs increase in property taxes -Austin metro

[Sujith C.]

Hi,

With Williamson county appraisal for 2022, my rental property tax due increased by 35%!!! I already raised the rents by 16% last year and now this.

Would you think rents will grow to catchup with property tax increases? I am afraid that people would stay away if I increase the rent by 35% and would be difficult to rent it out. If I do not increase, I would be under the water. Suggestions/thoughts?

Thanks

@Sujith C. Are you protesting your taxes? Its a regular thing for us. You will be surprised at the results, usually.
