Williamson County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. Unequal appraisal appeals are valid when the assessment is below market value. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by home owners were successful.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.” But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. One reason it is difficult for appraisal districts to correctly value homes is they are not homogenous. Some have been remodeled and some haven’t. Appraisal districts usually settle appeals at the informal hearing since it costs less and takes fewer resources. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually. Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
