Half or more of Texas homeowners are paying more than their fair share of property taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per square foot basis. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

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. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Property owners have a duty and responsibility to appraise property taxes annually. It is not prudent or reasonable to rely on the appraisal district’s estimate.
