Most homeowners who do not appeal annually pay excess property taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. An unequal appraisal appeal is easy to prepare. Just find neighborhood homes with a lower level of assessment (per square foot). Summarize the data in a table. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.
Some property owners do not appeal due to a concern the appraisal district will want to inspect their house. However, the appraisal district is MUCH too busy during the appeal season to even think about asking to inspect a property. Assessors do not visit houses because of appeals. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level to avoid the time-consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
