Harris County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Either comparable sales or condition issues at your home are useful for a market value appeal of property taxes. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes. But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.
Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal. If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Property owners have a duty and responsibility to appraisal property taxes annually. It is not prudent or reasonable to rely on the appraisal district’s estimate.
