Half or more of Texas homeowners are paying more than their fair share of property 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. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

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. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track the physical condition and value of over 20 million properties. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
