*The Property Tax Code specifies that in the year following a successful protest of a residential homesteaded property, the Chief Appraiser may not increase the market value of the property without "substantial evidence". This places a higher obligation on the appraisal district. It increases the likelihood that your reduction will survive more than one year but does not guarantee that result. However, any increase in the second year due to market conditions will come from a lower base.
