Steiner Ranch Property Tax Appraisals – Back to the Old Way

April 24, 2012 Craig Smyser Leave a Comment

It took me a while to get an answer from Travis Central Appraisal District (TCAD), but I finally found out how Steiner Ranch was appraised this year. As some quick background, TCAD experimented in Steiner Ranch last year by using a regression analysis to value properties instead of the market comparable approach that had been used previously. The gentleman who had been brought in to spearhead this initiative was let go by TCAD earlier this year so I wondered what that meant for the valuation methodology used in … [Read more...]

Schlotzsky’s Opens in Four Points at the Trails at 620

April 17, 2012 Craig Smyser Leave a Comment

With Quinlan Crossing and the Trails at 620 getting their first few tenants, it is a busy time for new business openings in the Four Points area. Great Clips opened last week (story here). Yesterday, Schlotzsky's had their ribbon cutting after opening on Saturday (photos below). Schlotzsky's is located at the Trails at 620 which is across from Concordia University Texas (on 620, of course). Being so close to the university, they were able to get a big crowd to turn out by offering free sandwiches for a year to the … [Read more...]

Quinlan Crossing – Great Clips Opens

April 16, 2012 Craig Smyser Leave a Comment

The Great Clips in Quinlan Crossing opened on April 13th. I needed to get a haircut over the weekend so I was able to try them out. There were a couple of folks ahead of me, but since they had several stylists working, the wait was short. I was pleased with the haircut and the experience. They are running a grand opening special so haircuts are just $4.99 - can't beat that! The normal cost is $14 ($11 for kids & seniors). Although I did not utilize it for this appointment, Great Clips offers online check-in … [Read more...]

Blue Bell is On Sale for $2.99 at Randalls

April 5, 2012 Craig Smyser Leave a Comment

Though I mostly stick to real estate in my blog posts, sometimes I have non-real estate related news to share. I love Blue Bell ice cream and I love a good deal, so when the two combine I must let others know. The new Randalls at Quinlan Crossing in Steiner Ranch has Blue Bell on sale for $2.99 now through Tuesday, April 10. The limit is 2 and you need to use your Randalls card. Wondering if it was the same at other Randalls, I spot checked other stores on their website and found out that others had it on sale, … [Read more...]

Williamson County Property Tax Appraisals Mailed Earlier Than Usual

April 2, 2012 Craig Smyser Leave a Comment

The Williamson Central Appraisal District (WCAD) mailed out the property tax appraisals today, April 2, 2012, which is several weeks earlier than usual. Homeowners need to be aware that since the appraisals were mailed early, the deadline to protest is also earlier than usual because owners have 30 days to protest. In the past, the protest deadline typically fell towards the end of May, but this year will be much earlier (I was told by a WCAD representative over the phone that it would be May 5th for most … [Read more...]
