Half or more of Texas home owners are paying more than their fair share of property taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by home owners were successful.

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.
