Property Tax Assistance Workshops

Attend a free workshop hosted by the City of San Antonio to see how you can lower your property tax bill.

Each workshop will start with a brief presentation from Texas True Tax on:

  • different kinds of property tax exemptions.
  • how to appeal a property's appraisal value, including preparing for a protest.

After the presentation participants can get one-on-one help to complete paperwork, such as exemption forms and appeal letters and to answer any questions you might have.

Representatives from the Bexar Central Appraisal District (BCAD) will be available onsite to answer questions and help you file completed paperwork.

Spanish and American Sign Language interpreters are available at all sessions.

If you are unable to attend one of our sessions, please review the materials and a video of the presentation.
