Most homeowners who do not appeal annually pay excess property taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by homeowners were successful.

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. Appraisal districts use mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model.  Overall results are OK.  However, many homes are too high or low. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Appraisal property taxes, yard work, and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
