Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Fort Bend County owners to pay extra taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.
Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.” But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. Appraisal districts use the cost approach to value houses. It is generally considered the least reliable method of appraisal. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
