Wichita County Appraisal District 2021 Houses Property Tax Protest Summary

Wichita Appraisal District received property tax protests in 2021 from owners of $304 million of houses, out of a total of $5 billion. Fully 6% of houses were protested based on Wichita CAD noticed value. Owners of more expensive homes are more likely to protest than owners of typical homes. Owners of commercial, apartments and utilities are much more likely to protest. Owners of 48% of commercial, 70% of multifamily and 25% of utilities appealed, based on value. This large portion of utility, commercial and multifamily owners consistently appeal annually for one reason; it works.

Appealing is the secret! Owners who appeal their property taxes annually benefit from property tax savings about 55 to 90% of years. The appraisal district revalues property regularly and sends the notice for the latest value each year. This appraisal will be the basis for your tax bill unless you contest it. You can contest it on your own successfully, and if you do so repeatedly, each year, you will most likely be successful. My experience over 39 years is that few owners will take the time and effort to appeal on their own annually. While you may intend to do so, other priorities often interfere and filing your appeal can fall to the bottom of your list. If this is the case for you, let us do it for you if you are not protesting on your own. We charge no upfront costs. No flat fees. You are never required to pay unless we reduce your property taxes that year. Enroll today in the Property Tax Protection Program™; don't miss another property tax protest deadline.
