Texas property owners can avoid paying excess property taxes by taking several basic steps. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal. If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. Appraisal districts use mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model. Overall results are OK. However, many homes are too high or low. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
