Dallas County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given a large number of houses they value and that are protested. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per-square-foot basis. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal.  If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for houses. Appraisal districts are receptive to settling property tax protests for houses at the informal level because it has only a nominal impact on the total tax base. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
