Texas Property Tax Guide
Market Value Vs Appraised Value
Market value is generally the appraisal district's estimate of what the property would sell for. Appraised value and taxable value can be affected by exemptions, limits, and other Texas property tax rules.
Use the right value for the right question
A protest may focus on market value, unequal appraisal, incorrect characteristics, exemptions, or other appraisal actions. The evidence should fit the protest reason.
Taxable value limits can confuse the issue
A capped taxable value does not always mean the market value is fair. Owners should read each line of the notice rather than looking only at the estimated tax impact.
