Harris County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. Either comparable sales or condition issues at your home are useful for a market value appeal of property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. The majority of those who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.
Some homeowners do notappeal 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 mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model. Overall results are OK. However, many homes are too high or low. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level to avoid the time-consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
