Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Winning a property tax protest is easy.  Getting property owners to appeal is hard.  Only 10% of Texan home owners appeal their property taxes.

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 difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
