Fort Bend County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. Market value property tax appeals save homeowners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

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. 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. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
