Most home owners who do not appeal annually pay excess property taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. 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.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process. Most would appeal if they know how easy it is the high chance of success. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
