Half or more of Texas home owners are paying more than their fair share of property taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by home owners were successful.

Some homeowners do not appeal property taxes because they are not aware of this right. You can and should protest both market value and unequal appraisal annually. 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.
