Texas property-tax over-assessment, county by county

AppealTexasTax checks single-family homes across 92 Texas counties against the median of their comparable neighbors under §41.43(b)(3). See where homes are most often appraised above that median — then check your own home on the map.

47%
Across 92 Texas counties, 2,958,417 homeowners — about 47% of judged homes — are appraised above the median of their comparable neighbors: a §41.43(b)(3) unequal-appraisal protest they could file, and most never do.

This is the share of judged homes the tool flags as having an unequal-appraisal case — homes that received a verdict (parcels with no comparable set are excluded). It is not a finding that a county over-charges everyone: by construction, roughly half of all homes sit above their local median, and §41.43(b)(3) lets any owner above the median of their comps protest down toward it. Not legal advice.
