Montgomery County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal. Appeal both every year. 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. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level to avoid the time consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually. Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
