Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Tarrant County owners to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Winning a property tax protest is easy. Getting property owners to appeal is hard.  Only 10% of Texan homeowners appeal their property taxes.

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 are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Property owners who appeal annually rarely pay more than their fair share.
