Brazoria County property investors far too often pay excess property taxes. A market value appeal is based on the assessor’s value exceeding the market value of your home. Unequal appraisal appeals are valid when the assessment is below market value. Winning a property tax protest is easy. Getting property owners to appeal is hard. Only 10% of Texan home owners appeal their property taxes.
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. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
