Rarely are assessed values raised at the Appraisal Review Board hearing. In fact, property taxes are only raised about once in every 10,000 Appraisal Review Board hearings. That is less than 1% of the time! While there's little risk your property taxes will increase, we do not advise you protest yourself.
