Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Harris County owners to pay extra taxes. Protesting the appraisal district’s market value with usually reduce your property taxes. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal.  Appeal both every year. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.”  But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
