How They Can Help

Our property tax appeal services start with a comprehensive assessment review to identify potential overvaluations. We analyze comparable sales data, property condition reports, and market trends to build strong cases for tax reductions. For commercial properties, we examine income approaches, cost analyses, and highest-and-best-use determinations. We handle all aspects of the appeal process, including filing deadlines, evidence preparation, and hearing representation. Our team prepares detailed protest letters, organizes supporting documentation, and presents cases before appraisal review boards. We also provide ongoing consultation for property tax planning and assessment monitoring to prevent future overvaluations. Additionally, we offer litigation services for cases that proceed to district court appeals when administrative remedies are insufficient.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with a free consultation where we review your assessment notice and property details. We'll explain your appeal options and timeline requirements, as Texas has strict deadlines that must be met. Once retained, we conduct a thorough property analysis and research comparable sales to determine if your assessment is excessive. We prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the appropriate appraisal district. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of developments and strategy decisions. If your case proceeds to a formal hearing, we represent you before the review board and present evidence supporting a reduced valuation.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout Dallas County and surrounding areas, including Plano, Richardson, Garland, Mesquite, and Irving. Our familiarity with local appraisal districts and their assessment practices gives us strategic advantages in challenging property valuations. We handle cases before all major Texas appraisal districts and have extensive experience with the Dallas Central Appraisal District's procedures and personnel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What deadlines apply for property tax appeals in Texas?
You have until May 15th (or 30 days after receiving your notice, whichever is later) to file a protest with the appraisal district. Missing this deadline eliminates your appeal rights for that tax year.
How much can I save through a property tax appeal?
Savings vary by case, but successful appeals typically achieve 10-30% reductions in assessed value. On a $500,000 home, this could mean $1,000-$3,000 in annual tax savings.
Do I need a lawyer for a property tax appeal?
While you can represent yourself, professional representation significantly improves success rates. We understand valuation methods and appeal procedures that most property owners don't.
What evidence helps support a property tax appeal?
Recent comparable sales, property condition issues, and market analysis strengthen appeals. For commercial properties, income and expense data are crucial for income approach valuations.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment exceeds fair market value. However, repeated unsuccessful appeals may face increased scrutiny.
What happens if the appraisal district disagrees with my appeal?
Disagreements proceed to formal hearings before the Appraisal Review Board. If still unsatisfied, you can appeal to state district court within specific timeframes.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Informal reviews typically resolve within 30-60 days. Formal hearings can extend the process to 90 days or longer, depending on the appraisal district's schedule.
Will appealing my property taxes affect my homestead exemption?
No, filing a property tax appeal doesn't impact your homestead exemption status. These are separate matters handled through different procedures.
