While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.” But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
