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. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per square foot basis. Winning a property tax protest is easy. Getting property owners to appeal is hard. Only 10% of Texan home owners appeal their property taxes.
Some homeowners do not appeal property taxes because they are not aware of this right. You can and should protest both market value and unequal appraisal annually. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the 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.
