Located in the northern portion of the Houston area, Montgomery County is one of the primary suburbs of Harris County. With many towns, including the middle-class Conroe and the prestigious Woodlands, Montgomery County is seen as being of a higher quality to Harris, while being more affordable than Fort Bend County. Due to this midway point, Montgomery County is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand living places in Texas, though there is a growing commercial sector as well. This influx of people from Harris County and around the country has led to rising property values and taxes in recent years. Taxpayers are quickly turning to property tax appeals to help lower these costs. While the tax rate cannot be changed, these protests can be used to lower the taxable value of a property, which then forces the tax bill to go down. This is a key strategy in the face of overaggressive taxation thanks to the Montgomery Central Appraisal District (MCAD), as it combines with exemptions to get the fair market value for a home or business. 27% of all properties in the county were protested in 2023 and this trend is only increasing. Initial informal appeals helped counter some major increases in 2025, and new data has just arrived about how formal appeals to the appraisal review board (ARB) did. In this article, O’Connor will discuss how these combined protests were able to stem or even reverse recent value spikes.
Montgomery County Homes See Value Reduced by 3.1% Thanks to Appeals
In 2025, before appeals, the overall value of residential property in Montgomery County saw an increase of 9%. Informal appeals managed to cut 2% from the total, which resulted in a new sum of $92.23 billion. ARB hearings managed to reduce this further, and when combined with informal appeals, were able to lower things by 3.1%. The largest block of residential value was homes worth between $250,000 and $500,000, which totaled $25.83 billion after a cut of 2.4%. Falling 3.4%, homes assessed from $500,000 to $750,000 took second place with $19.26 billion. Those between $750,000 and $1 million experienced a reduction of 4.2%, while homes worth between $1 million and $1.5 million dropped 5.2%. They were valued at $9.75 billion and $8.11 billion respectively. The most expensive homes got the largest decrease, dropping 6.7% to $7.25 billion.
