Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes.  Protesting the appraisal district’s market value with usually reduce your property taxes. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per square foot basis. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by home owners were 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. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts are receptive to settling property tax protests for houses at the informal level because it has only a nominal impact on the total tax base. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
