Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Williamson County owners to pay extra taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Owners are sometimes reluctant to protest property taxes due to a concern their value might be raised. This can’t and does not happen. Since 2019, neither the appraisal district or the appraisal review board can increase a property tax assessment during a protest. 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. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
