Bexar County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.”  But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually. Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
