If you believe your taxes are too high, you should contact the taxing authority. The Property Appraiser does not determine the amount of taxes you pay. However, the taxing authorities use the Property Appraiser's assessment value to determine the taxes they levy. Therefore, the Property Appraisal Department staff can discuss the assessment value of your property.
