Large commercial property owners appeal 70 to 80% of the property value annually. They do this because it has proven successful over the last 40+ years since Tarrant was established (around 1980). It is virtually guaranteed that ~75% of commercial / industrial property value will be protested annually. It is part of the annual cycle for commercial property owners. They understand the “noticed value” sent by the appraisal district can probably be reduced via a property tax appeal. Only about 25% of homeowners appeal, with high value homeowners more likely to appeal.
