Half or more of Texas homeowners are paying more than their fair share of property taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. An unequal appraisal is a powerful tool to reduce property taxes but many homeowners are not aware of it and don’t use it. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

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. Appraisal districts use the 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. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
