Most homeowners who do not appeal annually pay excess property taxes. Protesting the appraisal district’s market value will usually reduce your property taxes. An unequal appraisal is a powerful tool to reduce property taxes but many homeowners are not aware of it and don’t use it. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal.  If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
