Brazoria County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal.  Appeal both every year. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by home owners were successful.

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 impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. 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.
