Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause El Paso County owners to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. 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 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. 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. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
