Most homeowners who do not appeal annually 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. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by homeowners were successful.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process.  Most would appeal if they know how easy it is the high chance of success. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for 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. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
