Property tax bills tend to be\u00a0higher in Texas<\/a> than in other states. Many homeowners pay the amount listed on their bill, but Texans have a constitutional right to protest<\/a> if they think their property has been overassessed. Homeowners have only days\u00a0until the May 15 deadline to file the paperwork needed to challenge their property tax bill before the Appraisal Review Board.<\/p>\n

TX Tax<\/a>\u00a0uses publicly available data and vital information gathered by journalists through deep reporting and extensive interviews with local appraisal districts, appraisers, and technical staff to help you attempt to lower your property tax bill. Property owners in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery<\/a>, Dallas<\/a>, Bexar<\/a>, and Travis<\/a> counties can use TX Tax to view the official county data for their address and review its assessed value.<\/p>\n
