How to Successfully Protest Your Texas Property Tax Assessment


Listen Later

Wondering how to protest your property tax assessment in Texas? Every spring, Texas homeowners have the right to challenge their county appraisal district's valuation — and most are overpaying simply because they do not know how. Host Jean Mitchell of Trilogy Real Estate sits down with Mickey Le, a property tax consultant with Ad Valorem Tax Management in Houston, to break down the entire protest process so you can walk into your appraisal review board hearing prepared and confident.

In this episode you will learn:

- How county appraisal districts determine your assessed value and where their data is often wrong

- How to document your home's hidden flaws that appraisal districts cannot see from satellite images or permits, and use them as evidence at your ARB hearing

- What comparable sales to pull and how to present them to argue your home's market value

- When hiring a professional tax protest firm pays off versus handling the protest yourself

Mickey Le is a property tax consultant with Ad Valorem Tax Management, a Houston-based firm specializing in residential and commercial property tax reduction across Texas.
