Texas property owners can avoid paying excess property taxes by taking several basic steps. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. 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.
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. Appraisal districts use the cost approach to value houses. It is generally considered the least reliable method of appraisal. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
