Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Midland County owners to pay extra taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. 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.

Some homeowners do not appeal property taxes because they are not aware of this right.  You can and should protest both market value and unequal appraisal annually. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. 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.
