At PMI Metroplex Properties, we spend a lot of time helping homeowners understand the true cost of owning real estate. Mortgage payments are only part of the equation. Insurance, maintenance, reserves — they all matter.
But in Texas, there is one expense that often rivals (or even exceeds) principal and interest over time:
Property Taxes.
For many North Texas homeowners, property taxes are one of the largest recurring financial obligations tied to their home. And unlike your mortgage, they never go away.
Yet most homeowners simply receive their annual assessment… and pay it without question.
Why Property Taxes Deserve Your Attention
Texas does not have a state income tax. That means local governments rely heavily on property taxes to fund schools, infrastructure, and municipal services. As property values increase across DFW, tax assessments often rise right along with them.
The issue?
Assessment values don’t always reflect true market value.
And even when they don’t, many homeowners:
Assume the county “must be right”
Don’t understand the protest process
Don’t have time to gather comps and attend hearings
Don’t believe it’s worth the effort
The result: overpayments that compound year after year.

Why This Matters
If you’ve owned your home for several years in North Texas, there’s a strong chance your property value has increased significantly. That doesn’t automatically mean your tax assessment is accurate.
Even modest reductions can translate into meaningful annual savings — and those savings compound over time.
We routinely see homeowners save hundreds to thousands of dollars per year simply by challenging their valuation.
The PMI Metroplex Philosophy
We believe property ownership should be optimized — not passive.
Whether you own your primary residence or investment property, reducing unnecessary expenses is part of sound financial stewardship. Property taxes are one of the few major homeownership expenses that can actually be negotiated.
Most people just pay the bill.
Smart owners evaluate it.
If you’d like to explore whether you’re overpaying, we encourage you to take advantage of this partnership.
