Right on the Money: How to protest your Texas property appraisal

The assessed value of your property multiplied by the tax rate is what determines your property tax bill. Considering that, each year, hundreds of thousands of North Texans protest these valuations in hopes of reducing what they will owe in taxes.

But many others do not bother to contest the assessments, possibly because the process may seem intimidating, despite how-to videos offered by some appraisal districts.

Since when did they start mailing out these tax hikes every year. I'm so sick of this never ending bubble inflation mess.

I don't think property tax should be on market value but purchase price. Seniors can only take so much before they stop working and maintaining their homes on a LOW INCOME. As an paid off house I am still a renter. Ridiculous! Why should you MUST appeal and tax hikes can take a house away. Working 50 years I worked and don't want the stress of this mess, but I have appealed every year. IT MUST STOP. Get rid or property tax and tax everything you buy. How much can a taxpayer pay before we have nothing to show for it. For a Freedom union this is not the way it should be. Can you imagine the Seniors don't or can't appeal this process? It is an unfair advantage since they don't mail the comps they compared with their process so you have time to research. I have to request them and be smart enough to fight them. I have Homestead and over 65 exemption, still does not help.

This year they didn't put the amount on the estimate. You have to figure it out online. The tax was very high.
