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 a large number of houses they value and that are protested. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Woody Allen said, “80% of success is showing up”.  The same is true of property taxes.  If you file an appeal and attend the hearing, your chance of reducing your property taxes is excellent.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal.  If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track the physical condition and value of over 20 million properties. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
