Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Dallas County owners to pay extra taxes. Comparable sales or condition issues at your home are useful for a market value appeal of property taxes. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per-square-foot basis.
Woody Allen said, “80% of success is showing up”. The same is true of property taxes. If you file an appeal and attend the hearing, your chance of reducing your property taxes is excellent. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Most tax protests are settled at the informal level so appraisers can return to measuring and valuing new construction. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
