While most Texas homeowners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal.  Appeal both every year. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.”  But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Appraisal districts are receptive to settling property tax protests for houses at the informal level because it has only a nominal impact on the total tax base. Appraisal property taxes yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
