How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax reduction services for both residential and commercial properties. Our residential services include homestead exemption applications, senior and disability exemption filings, and formal protest representation before appraisal review boards. For commercial clients, we conduct detailed income and expense analysis, comparable property studies, and cost approach valuations. Our team also handles property tax litigation when administrative appeals don't achieve satisfactory results. We file lawsuits in district court and represent clients through trial if necessary. Additional services include tax certificate corrections, agricultural exemption applications, and ongoing property tax monitoring to catch future over-assessments early. We work on both individual properties and large portfolios for institutional clients.

What to Expect

We start with a free property assessment to determine if your taxes are too high. If we find potential savings, we'll gather comparable sales data, analyze your property's characteristics, and prepare detailed evidence packages. We file all necessary paperwork with the appraisal district and represent you at hearings. You don't need to take time off work or appear at hearings. We handle everything from start to finish. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months. If we don't reduce your taxes, you owe nothing. We only get paid when we save you money, typically taking 25-40% of your first-year savings.

Service Area

We serve all of Harris County including Houston, Spring, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pasadena, and Pearland. Our office is centrally located downtown, but we handle most client communication by phone and email. We're familiar with appraisal practices in all Harris County MUDs and municipal utility districts. We also take select cases in adjacent counties like Fort Bend and Montgomery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline to file a property tax protest?
You must file by May 31st or within 30 days of receiving your tax notice, whichever is later. Missing this deadline means you can't appeal until next year.
How much can you typically reduce my property taxes?
Most successful appeals result in 10-30% tax reductions. The actual amount depends on how much your property was over-assessed and current market conditions.
Do I have to appear at the hearing?
No, we represent you at all hearings. You can attend if you want, but it's not required and most clients prefer not to.
What if my property value has actually increased?
Rising property values don't automatically mean your assessment is wrong. We analyze whether the increase is reasonable based on market data and property improvements.
Can you help with exemptions like homestead or senior discounts?
Yes, we file all available exemption applications. These can provide additional savings beyond market value reductions.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most cases resolve in 3-6 months. Complex commercial properties or cases that go to litigation may take longer.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
You owe us nothing if we don't achieve a tax reduction. There are no costs or fees for unsuccessful appeals.
Should I protest every year?
Only if your property appears over-assessed. We provide free annual evaluations to determine if a protest makes sense.
