Montgomery County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Protesting the appraisal district’s market value with usually reduce your property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process. Most would appeal if they know how easy it is the high chance of success. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. Appraisal districts are receptive to settling property tax protests for houses at the informal level because it has only a nominal impact on the total tax base. Property taxes are the largest tax most Texans face. But it is a stealth tax hidden in the mortgage payment, disguising the size of property taxes paid.
