Denton County Appraisal District 2021 Houses Property Tax Protest Summary

Denton Central Appraisal District accepted protest filings from owners in 2021 for $22 B worth of houses out of the total $86 B of taxable houses. In other words, 26% of all houses in Denton Central Appraisal District had their value protested, but that means 74% of residential property owners did not. Among homeowners with more expensive homes, there is a greater likelihood that they will protest. This trend is especially evident when looking at commercial, apartment, and utility properties, where an incredible 81% of owners protested their noticed values. These protests demonstrate the power of homeowners to stand up for their rights and ensure their property is fairly appraised.

Property taxes are an important part of owning a home, and it is important to ensure that you are not overpaying. One way to do this is to appeal your property taxes annually. While the appraisal district will often put up a new number each year, you can contest it and potentially save money if you appeal annually. Over the past 39 years, I have seen few owners appeal to themselves. This is understandable as they may have other priorities that take precedence. However, if they make the effort to appeal each year, they can potentially save a significant amount of money. We offer no upfront cost, no flat fees, and you’ll never pay anything unless we win your appeal reducing your taxes for the year. Enroll in the Property Tax Protection Program™ today!
