While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. 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. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal. If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually. Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
