Dallas County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal.  Appeal both every year. 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. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
