How They Can Help

Our property tax services cover the full spectrum of assessment challenges and tax reduction strategies. We handle residential property tax protests for homeowners dealing with inflated valuations, conducting thorough market analyses and preparing detailed evidence packages for appraisal district hearings. For commercial clients, we provide sophisticated valuation reviews of office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. We specialize in assessment appeals at all levels, from informal reviews with appraisers to formal hearings before appraisal review boards and district court proceedings. Our team conducts comprehensive property inspections, analyzes comparable sales data, and identifies assessment errors or inequities. We also provide ongoing consultation for property tax planning, helping clients understand exemptions, special valuations, and timing strategies that can minimize future tax exposure while maintaining compliance with Texas property tax codes.

What to Expect

Getting started is straightforward and risk-free. Contact us with your property tax statement and recent assessment notice. We'll conduct a preliminary evaluation to determine if your property shows potential for tax reduction and explain our fee structure upfront. Once engaged, we gather property documentation, conduct site inspections, and research comparable properties to build your case. We handle all communication with appraisal district officials, prepare formal protests, and represent you at hearings. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy adjustments. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, and you only pay fees when we achieve actual tax reductions.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout Dallas County and surrounding areas, including Richardson, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, and Plano. Our local expertise covers all Dallas area appraisal districts and their specific procedures, timelines, and personnel. While based in Dallas, we also handle cases in Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties for clients with multiple properties or complex commercial portfolios requiring coordinated representation across jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than market evidence suggests, you may have grounds for a successful appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax protest?
In Texas, you must file your protest by May 15th or within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice, whichever is later. Missing this deadline eliminates your appeal rights for that year.
How much can you reduce my property taxes?
Results vary by property and circumstances, but we've achieved reductions ranging from 10-50% of assessed value. We provide realistic expectations based on your specific situation during our initial consultation.
Do you charge upfront fees?
No, we work on contingency for most cases. You pay only when we achieve actual tax savings, and our fees come from a percentage of your first year's savings.
Can I protest my taxes every year?
Yes, Texas law allows annual protests if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, you need valid grounds such as unequal appraisal, excessive valuation, or assessment errors.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If we don't achieve any reduction, you owe no fees under our contingency arrangement. You can still pursue higher levels of appeal, including district court, if circumstances warrant.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, though complex commercial matters or district court appeals may take longer. We provide timeline estimates based on your specific case.
Should I attend the hearing?
We handle all hearing appearances, but property owners are welcome to attend. Your presence isn't required, and we'll represent your interests professionally throughout the process.
