Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Denton County owners to pay extra taxes. Protesting the appraisal district’s market value will usually reduce your property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data.

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. Appraisal districts use the cost approach to value houses. It is generally considered the least reliable method of appraisal. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Appraisal property taxes, yard work and HVAC check-ups are just a few of the responsibilities for homeowners.
