While most Texas homeowners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. 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. Incorrect property data such as grade, effective year built, condition, etc lead to substantial errors in appraisal district values for 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.
