Tarrant County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.
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 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. Property owners have a duty and responsibility to appraisal property taxes annually. It is not prudent or reasonable to rely on the appraisal district’s estimate.
