An unequal appraisal appeal is easy to prepare.  Just find neighborhood homes with a lower level of assessment (per square foot). Summarize the data in a table. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process. Most would appeal if they know how easy it is a high chance of success.

Appraisal districts are receptive to settling property tax protests for houses at the informal level because it has only a nominal impact on the total tax base.
