While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. Unequal appraisal is a powerful tool to reduce property taxes, but many homeowners are not aware of it and don’t use it. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process.  Most would appeal if they know how easy it is the high chance of success. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
