Most home owners who do not appeal annually pay excess property taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. 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. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts usually settle appeals at the informal hearing since it costs less and takes fewer resources. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
