Frequently Asked Questions

What types of properties do you handle for tax appeals?
We handle all property types including single-family homes, condos, commercial buildings, industrial properties, agricultural land, and special use facilities. Each requires different valuation approaches and expertise.
When should I file a property tax protest?
Texas law requires protests by May 15th or within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice. Earlier filing is better since it allows more time for case preparation.
Can you help if I missed the protest deadline?
Limited options exist after deadlines pass, such as corrections for clerical errors or late notices. We can evaluate whether any exceptions might apply to your situation.
How do you determine if my property is overassessed?
We analyze recent comparable sales, property condition, market trends, and assessment methodology. This comprehensive review identifies whether your assessment exceeds market value.
What happens during an appraisal review board hearing?
You present evidence showing your property's actual market value while the appraisal district defends their assessment. The board makes decisions based on evidence presented by both sides.
Do you offer payment plans for legal fees?
We work with clients on reasonable payment arrangements including contingency options for qualifying cases. Fee structures are discussed during initial consultations.
How often should I challenge my property assessment?
Annual review is wise, but formal protests make sense when assessments increase significantly or market conditions change. Not every year requires a protest filing.
Can you help with agricultural exemption applications?
Yes, we assist with agricultural use applications, wildlife management exemptions, and maintaining compliance with ongoing requirements for these special valuations.
