While most Texas home owners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal.  Appeal both every year. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

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. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
