While most Texas homeowners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by homeowners were 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. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
