Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Denton County owners to pay extra taxes. Protest market value, get a few comparable sales as evidence and you are very likely to reduce your property taxes. You can reduce your property taxes with an unequal appraisal appeal. The majority who appeal their Texas property taxes are successful. 

Some homeowners do not appeal property taxes because they are not aware of this right.  You can and should protest both market value and unequal appraisal annually. Appraisal districts use mass appraisal to value property, basically a math model.  Overall results are OK.  However, many homes are too high or low. Tax protests are resolved at the informal hearing since the result is within a “reasonable range of value”.  Appraisal is not an exact science and valuations are only an educated opinion of value, not a fact. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
