While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Either comparable sales or condition issues at your home are useful for a market value appeal of property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. 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. Appraisal districts use mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model. Overall results are OK. However, many homes are too high or low. 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.
