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.

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 settle appeals at the informal level  to avoid the time consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
