Midland County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Either comparable sales or condition issues at your home are useful for a market value appeal of property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Winning a property tax protest is easy.  Getting property owners to appeal is hard.  Only 10% of Texan home owners appeal their property taxes.

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. Tax protests are resolved at the informal hearing since the result is within a “reasonable range of value”. Appraisal is not an exact science and valuations are only an educated opinion of value not a fact. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
