How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential assessment appeals for single-family homes, condos, and townhomes throughout the Austin metro area. We handle commercial property protests for office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-family complexes. Our valuation analysis team reviews your property's assessed value against comparable sales, market conditions, and property characteristics to identify overassessments. We also provide pre-protest consultations where we evaluate your property's appeal potential before filing formal protests. For commercial clients, we offer ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch potential overvaluations early. Our document preparation service ensures all required forms and supporting evidence are properly submitted to meet strict county deadlines. Additionally, we represent clients at informal and formal hearings with appraisal district review boards, presenting compelling cases for tax reductions.

What to Expect

Start by calling us for a free property assessment review where we analyze your current valuation and identify potential savings opportunities. If we find grounds for appeal, we'll explain the process and our fee structure upfront. Next, we gather supporting documentation including comparable sales data, property condition reports, and market analysis relevant to your case. We then prepare and file your formal protest with the appropriate appraisal district before the deadline. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of hearing dates and case progress. Finally, we represent you at hearings or negotiate directly with appraisers to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.

Service Area

We serve the greater Austin metropolitan area including Travis County, Williamson County, and Hays County. Our coverage extends to Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Kyle, and Buda. We're familiar with local appraisal districts, market conditions, and assessment practices specific to each jurisdiction we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Look for significant increases from previous years or values much higher than recent comparable sales in your area. We can provide a free initial assessment to determine if you have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax protest?
In Texas, you typically have 30 days from the date your assessment notice is mailed to file a protest. Don't wait until the last minute as deadlines are strictly enforced.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on your property's initial overassessment. Successful appeals might reduce assessed values by 5-20%, though some cases achieve larger reductions.
Do I have to attend the hearing myself?
No, we can represent you at all hearings and negotiations with the appraisal district. Most clients prefer this approach since we understand the process and legal requirements.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
We typically need your assessment notice, recent comparable sales data, photos of property conditions, and any documentation of needed repairs or improvements. We'll guide you through gathering the right evidence.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can protest your assessment annually if you believe it's too high. We offer monitoring services to identify potential appeals each year.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve a reduction, you typically owe nothing under our contingency fee structure. You can also pursue additional appeals to higher levels if warranted.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 3-6 months, while commercial cases may take longer. The timeline depends on hearing schedules and case complexity.
