Will you appeal?

Each year, nearly $4.02 B in taxable value is protested by owners, but by account only 5.5% of property owners protest. Several large commercial properties are appealed each year and their property taxes are often reduced. The same benefit can be available to you. There is usually a success rate of 40 to 60% for property owners who protest. As far as Texas is concerned, there is no minimum account size. The sooner you enroll, the lower your taxes will be in most years, so it is in your best interest to do so today.
