Investor Insight Report

Appreciation: Market value has fallen -3.4% from $6,932,500 (2021) to $6,700,108 (2025), a CAGR of -0.8% over 4 years. Growth has been relatively flat for this asset class. Most of this growth came in a single year (2022→2023), not a steady climb — worth checking what drove that reappraisal rather than assuming a smooth trend. Over the same span, the median Commercial parcel countywide rose +17.8%, so this parcel has lagged the broader commercial market over the same period.

Tax Burden: The combined rate across 5 taxing entities is 2.0465% in 2025 (+0.0647% vs 2024 — rates increased ). At the current taxable value, estimated annual taxes are $137,117. Austin ISD is the largest single contributor, at 45.2% of the total 2025 levy.

Asset Class: Commercial. No homestead exemptions apply — full market value is taxable. This is valued using the income approach, so changes in rent roll or occupancy move the appraisal more directly than they would for a cost-approach property.

Value Composition: Land carries 39% of market value ($2,580,540 land vs $4,119,568 improvements), about $30/SF of land. Most value sits in the improvements, so building condition, age (~20 yrs), and rent roll drive the underwriting.

Submarket Position: At $6,700,108, this parcel sits in the top quartile (≥75th percentile) of Commercial property in Travis County — county median $1,382,921 (P25 $632,506 / P75 $3,258,143, n=13,595). Commercial here is the broad TCAD category — every commercial property countywide, any size or use — not a use-code-specific peer group. See the Peer Set and the Where This Property Stands benchmark below, which narrows to this property's actual use code, for parcel-level comparables.

Forward Outlook: Holding the -2.4% Base-scenario CAGR (Based on 2021–2026 preliminary trend, projected forward from 2026), the model projects market value near $5,412,510 by 2031, with an estimated annual tax burden around $101,958. Estimated Forward figures are model projections, not certified — see the 6-Year Projection section for the low/base/high bands.

Estimate only. The appraisal district sets value as of Jan 1 (not at sale price). A sale is strong evidence of market value and is typically reflected in the next Jan 1 valuation. Taxing units set rates annually. Modeled from government data — not a legal or tax opinion.
