Brazoria County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Most market value protests are successful, typically saving the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars. The lower value stands when appealing market value and unequal appraisal.  Appeal both every year. It is difficult to persuade property owners to protest their property taxes.  But 60 to 80% of those who do are successful.

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.  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.  Protest your property taxes on market value and unequal appraisal by May 15th annually.  Protest even if you do not receive a value notice.
