Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. Either comparable sales or condition issues at your home are useful for a market value appeal of property taxes. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.”  But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. 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.
