Montgomery County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. Unequal appraisal appeals are valid when the assessment is below market value. 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. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
