NEW!  Pet Chip Scanner in Wells Branch

With the help of our wonderful neighbors, Wells Branch has a new Pet Chip Scanner!  We’d like to thank Daniel Barnekow and Mikella Maughan for being the driving forces behind acquiring the scanner and Sunbury Vet Clinic for ordering a top of the line scanner for us.

A special thank you to all the WB residents who contributed to its purchase.  You’re one of the many reasons Wells Branch is such an incredible place to live.

Mikella has graciously volunteered to be the resident possessor of the chip reader.  The number to call or text for scanning needs is (512) 270-1026.  This is a Google number which can be transferred to anyone who may be filling-in in order to keep things simple.  Please keep in mind that she is a regular person with a life – a business, some kids, and pets of her own –  so she can’t be available 24/7, however she does work from home and will be available from approximately 7am to 9pm most days.  Please call or text if you have an animal in Wells Branch who needs to be scanned.  She is happy to help!  

Tammy’s List Lives On

As many of you know, our  friend and neighbor, Tammy DeWitt Le, passed away in February.  She will be missed for her kindness, willingness to help, and the many ways she supported the Wells Branch community.  The WBNA has agreed to host Tammy’s Wells Branch Recommended Vendor List on the WBNA website.  Here, it will always remain “Tammy’s List”.  You may find it at:  http://wbna.us/community/tammys-recommended-vendor-list/.

Please continue to post reviews and recommendations to the Wells Branch Google Group as this has always been our resource for Tammy’s List.  If you’re not yet a member and would like to join, email the admin team at wbneighbors@gmail.com to request membership.  For questions regarding the administration of Tammy’s List, please contact us at info@wbna.us.

Wells Branch Neighborhood Association (WBNA), Wells Branch Google Group, Tammy DeWitt Le and Horizon Realty make no representation about the quality or performance of the vendors listed here.  All information is subject to change. We recommend you thoroughly research any home repair vendor before hiring.  The list was last updated on 5/22/19.

Tax Rate? Appraisal Amount?
What am I Supposed to Protest?

by Pam Wachholz – GRI Realtor® Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate – Home City

Hi neighbors! We’ve all been affected by rising property values, whether we are homeowners or renters. We have issues either in debt payment or debt recovery.In case of debt recovery people can also contact experts from moorcroft debt recovery as they can help you to reclaim the money that you owe to others. As property owners, we do have the ability to try and reign in the year-over-year increases in appraised value and total property tax bill, and I hope this article helps you navigate, or at least gain a better understanding of the property tax appraisal process!
