The appraisal district employs a mass appraisal system to determine the market value (or appraised value) of each property in the district. This value incorporates any applicable exemptions, with the homestead exemption being the most common for residential property owners. Taxes are then calculated based on this assessed value.

The appraisal district relies on a mass appraisal system to assess the value of your property. This system utilizes a vast database that may not always have accurate or up-to-date information about your property. Typically, nobody from the appraisal district personally inspects your property. Because of this, there's often a good chance for us to help lower your property taxes by finding errors or discrepancies in the mass appraisal process.

Even if your property is valued higher than similar neighboring properties, we can help. After filing your protest, we receive a detailed report from the appraisal district showing their calculations. Often, this report contains inaccuracies or outdated information. We review it thoroughly, correcting any discrepancies to reduce your property tax bill. And even if your property is valued lower than your neighbors', we can still find savings opportunities for you!
