53% of Overton Ridge homes are valued above similar homes nearby
We compared each of 207 single-family homes with its most similar neighbors (same neighborhood and quality, similar size and age). 53% have a house value above the median of those homes: together, $11.1 million of house value above them. Texas lets you protest a value that is above the median of comparable homes.
28% of Texas homeowners protested in 2026, and 72% of decided protests got a reduction
Of 977,048 Texas homeowners in our data, 271,107 protested their 2026 value; 182,845 of 253,402 decided protests lowered it, typically by $15,870 (3.3% of the value). (The Tarrant Appraisal District doesn't publish protest results, so this uses our Texas data.)
Texas homeowners who protested on their own got bigger reductions than those who hired an agent: $22,780 vs. $14,690
The typical winning protest cut the value by 5.3% on your own vs. 3% with an agent. (The Tarrant Appraisal District doesn't publish protest results, so this uses our Texas data.)
An agent keeps 25–40% of what you save. Doing it yourself costs $0–50.
At a typical 1.5% Texas tax rate, the typical win on your own takes about $330 a year off the tax bill, and you keep all of it. The typical agent win takes off about $213, and the agent keeps about $53–$85 of that. Filing is free, online or by mail, and there's no agent contract to renew or cancel each year.
The typical Texas home pays about $7,106 a year in property tax
Our estimate from 2026 published tax rates and each home's exemptions: 1.5% of market value. (The Tarrant Appraisal District doesn't publish tax rates with its data, so this uses our Texas data.)
10% of Overton Ridge homes have no homestead exemption on file
Usually a rental or second home. If it's your own home, a homestead exemption takes $140,000 off its school taxable value and caps yearly increases in taxable value at 10%; you apply with your appraisal district (Form 50-114).
