McLennan County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Protesting the appraisal district’s market value with usually reduce your property taxes. The lower value stands when appealing to market value and unequal appraisal. Appeal both every year. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

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. One reason it is difficult for appraisal districts to correctly value homes is they are not homogenous. Some have been remodeled and some haven’t. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Property taxes are the largest tax most Texans face. But it is a stealth tax hidden in the mortgage payment, disguising the size of property taxes paid.
