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. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.
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 physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Property owners have a duty and responsibility to appraisal property taxes annually. It is not prudent or reasonable to rely on the appraisal district’s estimate.
