While most Texas homeowners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. 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. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.
Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.” But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
