While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing. 

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.”  But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts are receptive to settling property tax protests for houses at the informal level because it has only a nominal impact on the total tax base. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
