Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Williamson County owners to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal.  Appeal both every year. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal.  If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. One reason it is difficult for appraisal districts to correctly value homes is they are not homogenous.  Some have been remodeled and some haven’t. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
