Every year, the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) determines property values for tax purposes, but these assessments aren’t always accurate. An inflated Harris County tax appraisal can lead to higher property taxes, costing you more than necessary. By understanding how your property is valued and comparing it to similar properties, you can identify potential errors. If you believe your appraisal is too high, you have the right to challenge it through a property tax protest. Knowing your property’s true value can help you secure a fair assessment and avoid overpaying on taxes. Stay informed, review your appraisal, and take action if needed.
