Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about property tax protests, our services, and the consultation process in Texas.

How does the property tax protest process work in Texas?

We review your property's assessed value, analyze market data and comparable properties, and file a formal protest with the county appraisal district. Our team represents you through negotiations or hearings when necessary, aiming to achieve a fair and accurate valuation.

What if my property value is not reduced?

If we are unable to reduce your property's assessed value, you do not owe any fees. Our services are performance-based, meaning you only pay if we successfully lower your assessment.

Can you represent both residential and commercial properties?

Yes. We provide property tax consulting and protest services for residential properties, commercial and industrial real estate, and business personal property, using strategies tailored to each property type and county.

What does it cost to use your services?

Our standard fee structure is contingency-based at 25% of the first year's tax savings. We also offer flat fee options for certain property types. There are no upfront costs, and you only pay if we achieve a reduction.

When is the deadline to file a property tax protest in Texas?

The standard deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the appraisal district mails your notice of appraised value, whichever is later. We recommend contacting us as soon as you receive your notice to ensure timely filing.

Do I need to attend the hearing?

No. We handle all aspects of the hearing on your behalf, including preparation, presentation of evidence, and negotiation with the appraisal district. You do not need to be present.

What evidence do you use to support a reduction?

We use comparable sales data, market analysis, property condition documentation, income and expense data for commercial properties, and unequal appraisal evidence to build a strong case for reduction.

How long does the protest process take?

The timeline varies by county, but most protests are resolved within 2-6 months of filing. Some cases may take longer if they proceed to formal hearings or arbitration.

Can you help if I already filed a protest myself?

In many cases, yes. If your protest is still pending, we may be able to take over representation. Contact us as soon as possible so we can review your case.

Do you serve all counties in Texas?
