Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between market value and assessed value?
Market value is what your property would sell for in the current market. Assessed value is the appraisal district's estimate, which should equal market value but often doesn't due to outdated data or methodology errors.
How often should I consider appealing my property taxes?
Review your assessment annually when you receive your notice. If your increase exceeds neighborhood trends or recent sales suggest overvaluation, an appeal may be warranted.
Can I appeal both the land and building values separately?
Yes, in Texas you can protest the land value, building value, or both. Sometimes only one component is overvalued, which can still result in meaningful tax savings.
What evidence is most effective in property tax appeals?
Recent comparable sales are most persuasive, followed by professional appraisals and evidence of property defects or market conditions. Photos and detailed property information also strengthen cases.
Do commercial properties have different appeal procedures?
The basic process is the same, but commercial appeals typically require more detailed financial analysis and often benefit from professional appraisals given the complexity of valuation methods.
What happens if the appraisal district doesn't respond to my appeal?
Texas law requires districts to schedule hearings and provide decisions within specific timeframes. If they fail to respond appropriately, you may have grounds for additional legal remedies.
Can I appeal if my property value decreased but my taxes stayed the same?
Yes, if your property's market value declined but your assessment didn't reflect this change, you have grounds for appeal regardless of whether your absolute tax amount changed.
How do exemptions affect my appeal strategy?
Exemptions reduce your taxable value after assessment, so maximizing exemptions is crucial. We review all available exemptions as part of our comprehensive tax reduction strategy.
