Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Fort Bend County owners to pay extra taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

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. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
