Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. 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.

Property owners are sometimes reluctant to protest their property taxes because the believe the appeal process is difficult. It is not difficult and 60 to 80% of owners who appeal are successful. 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.
