Midland County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given a large number of houses they value and that are protested. Unequal appraisal appeals are valid when the assessment is below market value. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

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 difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Appraisal districts usually settle appeals at the informal hearing since it costs less and takes fewer resources. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
