Guadalupe County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal. Appeal both every year. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

Many owners intended to appeal but the May 15th date slipped by with no appeal.  If you want to appeal and it is slipping your mind, consider a consultant. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level  to avoid the time consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
