'They made a mistake. I'm having to pay for it': Homeowner says Travis Central Appraisal District error cost him thousands

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Patrick Perez said the pride he felt for his home in south Austin has steadily morphed into panic over the last few months. He said the cause is partly from a filing error by the Travis Central Appraisal District that has cost him thousands of dollars.

"This house is from 2015. It was one of those experiences where I had a really good year with my business, and so I decided I'm gonna move somewhere and have a real home," Perez said.

In 2022, Perez said his family's lifestyle called for a change.
