Most home owners who do not appeal annually pay excess property taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal. Appeal both every year. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes. But 60 to 80% of those who do 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. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
