What Is Overassessment?

Definition
A situation where the appraisal district's value for your property exceeds its actual market value. Overassessment means you are being taxed on more value than your home is worth.

Why This Matters for Your Protest

Overassessment is the most common and straightforward ground for a property tax protest in Texas. If comparable sales show your home is worth less than the district says, you are overassessed. Even a modest overassessment of 5-10% can translate to hundreds of dollars in extra taxes each year, compounding over time if left uncorrected.
