Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Some property owners do not appeal due to a concern the appraisal district will want to inspect their house.  However, the appraisal district is MUCH too busy during the appeal season to even think about asking to inspect a property.  Assessors do not visit houses because of appeals. 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.
