Half or more of Texas home owners are paying more than their fair share of property taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do 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. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
