Texas property owners can avoid paying excess property taxes by taking several basic steps. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Many owners do not protest because they do not understand the process.  Most would appeal if they know how easy it is to have a high chance of success. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. Protesting your property taxes annually is analogous to regularly changing the oil in your car.  Preventative maintenance avoids serious problems.
