Midland County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal.  Appeal both every year. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Property owners are sometimes reluctant to protest their property taxes because they believe the appeal process is difficult.  It is not difficult and 60 to 80% of owners who appeal are successful. Appraisal districts use the mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model.  Overall results are OK.  However, many homes are too high or low. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
