Collin  County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. Market value property tax appeals save homeowners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

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. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. 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. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
