Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your property's overassessment. Successful appeals typically reduce assessed values by 10-30%, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
You pay nothing if they don't achieve a reduction. There are no costs or fees for unsuccessful cases when working on contingency.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most cases resolve within 4-6 months after filing. Complex commercial properties may take longer if formal hearings are required.
Can I appeal my taxes every year?
Yes, you can protest your assessment annually if you believe it's too high. However, frivolous appeals without merit aren't recommended.
Do I need to attend hearings personally?
No, they handle all hearings and meetings on your behalf. You typically don't need to take time off work or attend proceedings.
What documents do you need from me?
They typically need your assessment notice, recent property surveys, and any relevant property condition information. They'll request specific items based on your case.
When is the deadline to file a property tax appeal?
In Texas, you must file by May 15th or within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice, whichever is later. Missing this deadline means waiting until next year.
Will appealing my taxes affect my homestead exemption?
No, appealing your assessed value won't impact your homestead exemption. These are separate issues handled independently by the appraisal district.
