While most Texas homeowners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Appraisal districts are flexible on market value appeals given the large number of houses they value and that are protested. Unequal appraisal appeals are valid when the assessment is below market value. The Texas Comptroller reports 80% of 2019 property tax appeals by homeowners were 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. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value homes since they rarely or never see the houses. Appraisal districts are willing to settle property tax appeals because they realize their values are not precise. Not appealing your property taxes annually is the equivalent of volunteering to pay extra property taxes.
