I actually work for a company that provides property appraisal software to appraisal districts and tax offices. You can protest the value of your home, and possibly lower your taxes. Just so you know, they are armed with a ton of information regarding the market value of your home. I'm not trying to discourage you from doing that if you wish, but you will need to go into this thing prepared. Simply asking will not get anything done with these people.
