Williamson County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal. Appeal both every year. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Some property owners do not appeal due to a concern the appraisal district will want to inspect their house. However, the appraisal district is MUCH too busy during the appeal season to even think about asking to inspect a property. Assessors do not visit houses because of appeals. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
