Brazoria County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. Market value property tax appeals save home owners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. An unequal appraisal appeal is easy to prepare.  Just find neighborhood homes with a lower level of assessment (per square foot).  Summarize the data in a table. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful.

Owners are sometimes reluctant to protest property taxes due to a concern their value might be raised.  This can’t and does not happen.  Since 2019, neither the appraisal district or the appraisal review board can increase a property tax assessment during a protest. 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. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
