Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. Protesting the appraisal district’s market value with usually reduce your property taxes. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

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 mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model. Overall results are OK. However, many homes are too high or low. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
