Midland County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. 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.
Property owners are sometimes reluctant to protest their property taxes because they believe the appeal process is difficult. It is not difficult and 60 to 80% of owners who appeal are successful. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
