Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer for a property tax appeal?
While you can represent yourself, attorneys understand legal procedures and valuation methods that significantly improve your chances of success. They also handle all paperwork and deadlines, reducing your stress and time commitment.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax protest in Texas?
You must file by May 15th or within 30 days of receiving your notice of appraised value, whichever is later. Missing this deadline means waiting until next year to challenge your assessment.
How much can I realistically expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary based on individual circumstances, but successful appeals often result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value. The firm will provide realistic expectations during your initial consultation based on your specific situation.
Will appealing my property taxes cause problems with my mortgage lender?
No, legitimate property tax appeals don't affect your mortgage or create lender issues. Lower assessments can actually reduce your required escrow payments over time.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If you work on contingency, you owe no fees for unsuccessful appeals. The firm will explain why the appeal wasn't successful and discuss options for future years if circumstances change.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can protest your assessment annually if you believe it's too high. However, repeated appeals without substantial justification may receive less favorable consideration from review boards.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most cases resolve within 3-6 months through the informal or formal review process. Complex commercial cases or those requiring district court litigation may take longer.
What evidence do I need to support my property tax appeal?
The firm will gather necessary evidence including comparable sales, property condition reports, and market analysis. You should provide recent tax statements, property surveys, and any appraisals you already have.
