Do You Have a Property Tax Appeal Case?
You may have grounds for a property tax appraisal appeal if one or more of the following apply to your property. These indicators could mean your property is overvalued and you're paying more taxes than you should.
Comparable properties are appraised lower.
Similar properties nearby have lower appraised values than yours, which may indicate your property is overvalued.
Recent neighborhood sales support a lower value.
Recent home sales in your area may show your property is worth less than the appraisal district’s valuation.
Your property record contains errors.
Incorrect square footage, features, condition, or classification can lead to a higher property tax appraisal.
Your exemptions or deductions are missing.
Missing homestead or other exemptions may cause you to pay more in property taxes than necessary.
Your purchase price is lower than the appraised value.
If you recently bought the property for less than its appraised value, that may support a property tax appeal.
Your property tax bill increased unexpectedly.
A sudden increase in your tax bill may be a sign of overvaluation, missing exemptions, or appraisal errors.
