How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services cover every aspect of the assessment appeal process. We handle residential properties including single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and vacant residential lots, as well as commercial properties ranging from small office buildings to large retail centers and industrial facilities. Our process includes detailed market analysis, comparable sales research, and thorough documentation of property condition factors that may impact value. We prepare complete protest packages meeting Travis County requirements, represent clients at informal and formal hearings, and pursue arbitration or court appeals when beneficial. Our services also include exemption reviews and applications, particularly homestead and agricultural exemptions that can provide significant ongoing savings. We maintain ongoing monitoring services for clients who want regular assessment reviews.

What to Expect

Our process starts with a complimentary assessment review where we analyze your current property valuation using our extensive database of local sales and market information. We'll provide a clear explanation of potential appeal opportunities and expected outcomes before you decide to proceed with representation. Once engaged, we handle all aspects of the appeal process including research, documentation preparation, and formal representation at hearings. We communicate regularly about case progress and strategy adjustments. Our goal is efficient resolution at the earliest possible level while maintaining readiness to pursue higher appeals when the potential savings justify additional time investment.

Service Area

We serve Travis County including Austin, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Sunset Valley, Rollingwood, West Lake Hills, and all surrounding areas. Our deep familiarity with neighborhood-specific market conditions throughout the county allows us to provide targeted analysis based on local factors that significantly impact property values in different areas of this diverse market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth appealing my assessment in Austin's hot real estate market?
Yes, even in rising markets assessors can make significant errors in individual property valuations. We regularly find assessment mistakes that justify appeals despite overall market appreciation.
What's different about property tax appeals in Travis County compared to other Texas counties?
Travis County has specific procedures and deadlines that differ from other counties. The rapid market changes in Austin also create unique challenges and opportunities for assessment appeals.
Can I appeal my assessment if I just bought my property?
Yes, your purchase price can actually be strong evidence for an appeal if the assessment exceeds what you paid, especially if the sale was recent and at arm's length.
How do you handle appeals for unique Austin properties like historic homes?
We have extensive experience with Austin's diverse architecture and historic properties. We understand the specific valuation challenges these properties present and how to address them effectively.
What if my neighborhood is rapidly changing and affecting property values?
Rapidly changing neighborhoods often create assessment challenges that work in favor of appeals. We analyze transition impacts and current market conditions rather than relying on outdated data.
Do I need to attend the hearing or can you represent me completely?
We provide complete representation and you typically don't need to attend hearings. We handle all communications and appearances on your behalf throughout the process.
How long do I have to file an appeal after receiving my assessment notice?
You generally have until May 15th or 30 days from receiving your notice, whichever is later. It's important not to delay as these deadlines are strictly enforced.
What happens to my taxes while the appeal is pending?
You can pay your taxes based on the current assessment to avoid penalties and interest. If we achieve a reduction, you'll receive a refund for any overpayment.
