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. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

Some property owners do not appeal due to a concern the appraisal district will want to inspect their house.  However, the appraisal district is MUCH too busy during the appeal season to even think about asking to inspect a property.  Assessors do not visit houses because of appeals. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
