Protesting your property-tax appraisal may be easier than you thinkMarty Kramer | Consumer columnistMay 16, 2012 58ShareEver protested your property-tax appraisal? I have. Twice.The first time was easy. We had bought our home six months earlier, and the appraisal district thought it had appreciated 20%!I attended an informal meeting with an appraisal-district employee. When she looked at the copy of our closing documents, she immediately adjusted the price down to our purchase price. Simple as that. She said I could have handled the whole thing over the phone.My second appraisal protest was only slightly more complicated. I came to the informal meeting with appraisals of comparable homes in my neighborhood and pictures of my house.The appraisal district employee and I went back and forth over the details, and after 10 minutes, she dropped the appraisal. Not as much as I’d requested, but still a helpful amount.So, I didn’t make it to the formal hearing with the appraisal review board either time. I hear from a friend of mine that’s a little more stressful, but still a fairly easy process if you do your homework.
