Property tax assessments not carefully reviewed lead to paying more than your share of property taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. An unequal appraisal appeal is easy to prepare.  Just find neighborhood homes with a lower level of assessment (per square foot).  Summarize the data in a table. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by homeowners were 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 impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level to avoid the time-consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
