Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing. 

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. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Tax protests are resolved at the informal hearing since the result is within a “reasonable range of value”.  Appraisal is not an exact science and valuations are only an educated opinion of value, not a fact.Property owners have a duty and responsibility to appraisal property taxes annually.  It is not prudent or reasonable to rely on the appraisal district’s estimate.
