Brazoria County homeowners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes.  Protesting the appraisal district’s market value with usually reduce your property taxes.  Unequal appraisal is a powerful tool to reduce property taxes, but many homeowners are not aware of it and don’t use it.  Appraisal districts are generally very receptive to settling tax appeals at the informal hearing.

 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.
