Texas property owners can avoid paying excess property taxes by taking several basic steps. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per square foot basis. 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. Appraisal districts use the cost approach to value houses. It is generally considered the least reliable method of appraisal. Appraisal districts usually settle appeals at the informal hearing since it costs less and takes fewer resources. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
