About 60% of lower-priced homeowners may pay higher property taxes than their counterparts who own more expensive homes, a new study shows.
Why? Owners of those higher-valued properties, ranging from $500,000 to $1.2 million, are at least two times more likely to appeal their property taxes and possibly pay far less, said Ownwell, a property-based startup in Austin, Texas. The amount of appeals depends on the county and the state.
