Appraisal district errors in setting assessed values cause Wise County owners to pay extra taxes. Protesting the appraisal district’s market value with usually reduce your property taxes. Check the unequal appraisal box on the protest form, or your unequal appraisal appeal will be ignored. Woody Allen said “80% of success is showing up”. The same is true of property taxes. If you file an appeal and attend the hearing, your chance of reducing your property taxes is excellent.
Some property owners do not appeal due to a concern the appraisal district will want to inspect their house. However, the appraisal district is MUCH too busy during the appeal season to even think about asking to inspect a property. Assessors do not visit houses because of appeals. Mass appraisal models make it impossible for appraisal districts to accurately value most houses. Appraisal districts usually settle appeals at the informal hearing since it costs less and takes fewer resources. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
