Texas property owners can avoid paying excess property taxes by taking several basic steps. Market value property tax appeals save homeowners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. Unequal appraisal is a powerful tool to reduce property taxes, but many homeowners are not aware of it and don’t use it. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes. But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal. If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
