Most home owners who do not appeal annually pay excess property taxes. Either comparable sales or condition issues at your home are useful for a market value appeal of property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.
Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.” But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. It is impossible for 2272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Tax protests are resolved at the informal hearing since the result is within a “reasonable range of value”. Appraisal is not an exact science and valuations are only an educated opinion of value not a fact. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
