While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal. Appeal both every year. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes. But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

Some homeowners do not appeal property taxes because they are not aware of this right. You can and should protest both market value and unequal appraisal annually. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
