Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Harris County owners to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. 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 do not appeal property taxes because they are not aware of this right.  You can and should protest both market value and unequal appraisal annually. 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 have a duty and responsibility to appraisal property taxes annually.  It is not prudent or reasonable to rely on the appraisal district’s estimate.
