Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Dallas County owners to pay extra taxes. Market value property tax appeals save homeowners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal. Appeal both every year. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process.  Most would appeal if they know how easy it is a high chance of success. 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. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
