Houston is the largest city in Harris County, with over 600,000 residential parcels assessed by HCAD. The city's diverse housing stock — from $200K starter homes to $5M+ estates — means assessment accuracy varies widely by neighborhood. In 2024, over 516,000 property tax protests were filed in Harris County, and homeowners who presented data-backed evidence through the iSettle online system saw success rates of 88-95%. Houston's lack of zoning creates unique assessment challenges, as residential properties may sit next to commercial uses that affect value differently than HCAD's mass appraisal models account for.
Median home value in Houston: $350,000. Typical over-assessment range: $25,000–$120,000. HISD / Multiple ISDs school district.
