Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Montgomery County owners to pay extra taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.”  But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
