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.

Property owners are sometimes reluctant to protest their property taxes because the believe the appeal process is difficult. It is not difficult and 60 to 80% of owners who appeal are successful. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. 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.
