Understanding Montgomery County Property Taxes
Property taxes in Montgomery County are based on property values set annually by the Montgomery County Appraisal District (Montgomery CAD). While these valuations are intended to represent fair market value, many property owners are unaware that they have the right to challenge an appraisal that they believe is too high. An incorrect valuation can lead to higher tax bills — sometimes unnecessarily so.
Why Property Owners Protest Appraisals
Challenging your property’s value through a Texas property tax protest is an opportunity to ensure your taxes are based on an accurate valuation. Whether you’re a homeowner or a commercial property owner, protesting your appraisal could result in significant tax savings.
Common reasons for filing a protest include:
• Assessment above market value
• Incorrect property characteristics (square footage, land size, improvements)
• Recent sales of comparable properties at lower values
• Erroneous classifications or exemptions not applied
Appraisal Review Board (ARB): What You Need to Know
The Appraisal Review Board oversees all protests filed with Montgomery CAD. It is an independent panel that reviews evidence presented by property owners and the appraisal district. To make a strong case before the ARB, documentation and strategic preparation are essential.
