While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

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 difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the 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.
