Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of 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. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

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. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually. Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
