I'll be moving to the Houston area next month and just saw this post.

I still can't believe how high my property tax is going to be as a Texas resident, but I didn't realize this protest option could actually be successful.

We're buying a new construction house in Spring, and the current assessed value listed online is about $20k higher than our sales price is.

What are the success rate chances if I protest next year?

Pretty good. I bought my house in July at a price below assessed value. Protested the following year and sent in my settlement statement. They lowered it to my purchase price without me needing to go to a hearing.
