Based on Harris CAD noticed value, 39% of houses were protested in 2022. Homeowners of expensive homes are more likely to protest than owners of typical priced homes. On average property owners of commercial, apartments and utilities are more likely to protest. Based on value, in 2022 owners of 56% of commercial, 5% of multifamily, and 99% of utilities appealed. Owners of utility, commercial and multifamily consistently appeal every year because on average the appeal results in a tax reduction.
The secret is simple; homeowners who appeal their property taxes benefit from property tax savings about 85 to 86% of respective year taxes are appealed.
