Half or more of Texas home owners are paying more than their fair share of property 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. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by home owners were successful
It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share. Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process. Most would appeal if they know how easy it is the high chance of success.
