Half or more of Texas home owners are paying more than their fair share of property taxes. One option to reduce you property taxes is to protest the market value. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data

It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. One reason appraisal districts are motivated to settle protests is to maintain goodwill with the community. 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. 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.
