Texas property owners can avoid paying excess property taxes by taking several basic steps. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per square foot basis. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Owners are sometimes reluctant to protest property taxes due to a concern their value might be raised. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
