Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause McLennan County owners to pay extra taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

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 impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level  to avoid the time consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
