Texas property owners can avoid paying excess property taxes by taking several basic steps. Market value property tax appeals save homeowners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. The Texas Comptroller reports that 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by homeowners were successful.
Property owners are sometimes reluctant to protest their property taxes because the believe the appeal process is difficult. It is not difficult and 60 to 80% of owners who appeal are successful. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
