Fort Bend County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. Unequal appraisal appeals are valid when the assessment is below market value. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts are receptive to settling property tax protests for houses at the informal level because it has only a nominal impact on the total tax base. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
