Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Williamson County owners to pay extra taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes. But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.” But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. 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. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
