Half or more of Texas homeowners are paying more than their fair share of property taxes. Market value property tax appeals save homeowners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per square foot basis. 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 usually settle appeals at the informal hearing since it costs less and takes fewer resources. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
