Midland County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

Some property owners do not appeal due to a concern the appraisal district will want to inspect their house.  However, the appraisal district is MUCH too busy during the appeal season to even think about asking to inspect a property. Assessors do not visit houses because of appeals. It is impossible for 2272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Property taxes are the largest tax most Texans face.  But it is a stealth tax hidden in the mortgage payment disguising the size of property taxes paid.
