Brazoria County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

Some homeowners believe “you can’t fight city hall.”  But property owners win 60 to 80% of property tax appeals. Appraisal districts use mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model.  Overall results are OK.  However, many homes are too high or low. Appraisal districts usually settle appeals at the informal hearing since it costs less and takes fewer resources. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
