Montgomery County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

Owners are sometimes reluctant to protest property taxes due to a concern their value might be raised.  This can’t and does not happen.  Since 2019, neither the appraisal district or the appraisal review board can increase a property tax assessment during a protest. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
