Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. 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. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually. Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
