Galveston County home owners are often unaware of the factors that cause them to pay extra taxes. One option to reduce your property taxes is to protest the market value. Unequal appraisal appeals compare the level of assessment of your house to comparable houses, typically on a per square foot basis. Winning a property tax protest is easy.  Getting property owners to appeal is hard.  Only 10% of Texan home owners appeal their property taxes.

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. It is impossible for 2,272 Texas appraisal district appraisers to track physical condition and value for over 20 million properties. Appraisal districts settle appeals at the informal level  to avoid the time consuming and expensive appraisal review board hearings. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
