Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. Unequal appraisal appeals are valid when the assessment is below market value. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by home owners were successful.

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 are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
