Midland County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

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 impossible for 2272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level to avoid the time-consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Property taxes are the largest tax most Texans face.  But it is a stealth tax hidden in the mortgage payment disguising the size of property taxes paid.
