Estes & Banks, PC

Estes & Banks, PC has been helping Dallas property owners challenge unfair tax assessments for over two decades. Our team understands that property taxes can make up a significant portion of your annual expenses, and we're committed to ensuring you're not paying more than your fair share. We specialize in both residential and commercial property tax appeals, combining legal expertise with deep knowledge of local assessment practices. Our attorneys work directly with appraisal districts to build compelling cases for tax reduction. Whether you're dealing with a sudden spike in your home's assessed value or managing multiple commercial properties, we'll review your situation and develop a strategy tailored to your specific circumstances.

We offer comprehensive property tax appeal services for homeowners and business owners throughout the Dallas area. Our residential services include reviewing annual appraisal notices, filing formal protests with the Dallas Central Appraisal District, and representing clients at informal and formal hearings. We analyze comparable properties, market conditions, and physical property characteristics to build strong cases for reduced valuations. For commercial properties, we provide detailed market analysis, income approach valuations, and cost approach assessments. Our team handles complex commercial appeals involving office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and multifamily properties. We also assist with special use properties like churches, schools, and nonprofit organizations. Additionally, we offer ongoing consultation services to help property owners understand their assessment notices and identify potential appeal opportunities before deadlines pass.

The process starts with a free consultation where we review your appraisal notice and property details. We'll explain your options and timeline for filing an appeal. If you decide to proceed, we'll gather supporting documentation including recent sales data, property condition reports, and market analysis. We handle all paperwork and deadlines, filing your protest with the appraisal district and preparing for hearings. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy decisions. Most cases resolve through negotiation, but we're prepared to represent you at formal hearings if necessary. You only pay our fee if we successfully reduce your assessment.

We serve property owners throughout Dallas County and surrounding areas including Richardson, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, and Grand Prairie. Our familiarity with local appraisal districts and market conditions allows us to provide effective representation regardless of property location. We handle cases in Dallas, Collin, Tarrant, and Denton counties.
