Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Harris County owners to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. An 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.
Some homeowners do not appeal property taxes because they are not aware of this right. You can and should protest both market value and unequal appraisal annually. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track the physical condition and value of over 20 million properties. 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.
