Montgomery County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process. Most would appeal if they know how easy it is the high chance of success. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level to avoid the time consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually. Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
