Bexar County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. 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 do not appeal property taxes because they are not aware of this right.  You can and should protest both market value and unequal appraisal annually. Appraisal districts use mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model.  Overall results are OK.  However, many homes are too high or low. 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.
