Houston, United States – July 23, 2019 / Texas Home Appraisers /
Houston area residents have likely noticed that their property taxes seem to increase every year. Local homeowners may wonder if there is anything they can do to lower their taxes. Texas Home Appraisers is informing individuals and businesses in the Greater Houston area that they may be able to reduce their taxes by protesting property taxes. The company helps clients protest property taxes by providing the appraisal report needed to justify the real price of a home at an appraisal board meeting.
Many people do not realize that their home has probably never been individually appraised by the county. In most cases, the “proposed value” of a home is based on a mass appraisal technique utilized by each county appraisal district. This practice is common because no appraisal district has the resources or time available to appraise each home individually. To manage such a large workload, the appraisal district uses a mass appraisal system based on typical property values in the area to appraise an entire neighborhood.
Appraisal districts often decide to raise the tax assessed value of every home in a neighborhood by 1%, 2%, 3% – even up to 10% each year. In the middle of a recession, appraisal districts rarely lower the tax assessed value, and, if they do, the decrease is minimal. The appraisal district places the burden on the homeowner to argue a reduction in the assessed value of a home.
Texas Home Appraisers understands that every home is different. When clients order a tax protest appraisal from Texas Home Appraisers, they receive a customized report that illustrates the current market value of their home. The appraisal includes a comprehensive analysis of the neighborhood and comparable properties within the market area. Armed with this report, homeowners can form a strategy and have the proper documentation when meeting with the county appraisal district.
