Montgomery County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

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. One reason it is difficult for appraisal districts to correctly value homes is they are not homogenous. Some have been remodeled and some haven’t. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level to avoid the time consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Property taxes are the largest tax most Texans face. But it is a stealth tax hidden in the mortgage payment, disguising the size of property taxes paid.
