While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Market value property tax appeals save home owners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process.  Most would appeal if they know how easy it is the high chance of success. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protesting your property taxes annually is analogous to regularly changing the oil in your car.  Preventative maintenance avoids serious problems.
