Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Bexar County owners to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

Owners are sometimes reluctant to protest property taxes due to a concern their value might be raised.  This can’t and does not happen.  Since 2019, neither the appraisal district or the appraisal review board can increase a property tax assessment during a protest. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the 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.
