Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to 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. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.” But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. It is impossible for 2272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Appraisal property taxes, yard work, and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
