Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. Market value property tax appeals save home owners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Woody Allen said “80% of success is showing up”. The same is true of property taxes. If you file an appeal and attend the hearing, your chance of reducing your property taxes is excellent.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process. Most would appeal if they know how easy it is the high chance of success. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually. Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
