What to Expect

Your property tax appeal starts with a detailed consultation where they review your assessment notice, property characteristics, and recent market activity. They'll analyze whether you have grounds for a successful appeal and explain the process timeline. If you proceed, they gather supporting evidence including comparable property sales, market data, and any property-specific factors that support a lower valuation. They file the formal protest within required deadlines and prepare a comprehensive case presentation. For informal hearings, they negotiate directly with appraisal district staff. If necessary, they present formal evidence at appraisal review board hearings. Throughout the process, they maintain regular communication about case progress and next steps, ensuring you understand developments and decisions.

Service Area

Primarily serving Plano and surrounding Collin County communities, including McKinney, Frisco, Allen, Richardson, and Murphy. They also handle cases throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, including Dallas County and portions of Denton County. Their familiarity with multiple appraisal districts helps them navigate different procedures and practices across North Texas jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Collin County property assessment is too high?
Compare your assessed value per square foot to similar properties in your neighborhood using CCAD's website. If yours is significantly higher without justification, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's unique about appealing in Collin County compared to other areas?
CCAD handles multiple fast-growing cities with different market characteristics. They tend to be thorough in their assessments but are also reasonable in negotiations when presented with solid evidence.
Can I appeal if I just bought my property and think I paid too much?
Yes, your purchase price is relevant evidence, but appraisal districts may argue it doesn't reflect market value if you paid above market or had special circumstances affecting the sale.
Should I hire an attorney or use a non-attorney tax consultant?
Attorneys understand legal procedures and can represent you in district court if needed. Non-attorney consultants may cost less but can't provide legal representation beyond administrative hearings.
What happens if I lose my appeal at the county level?
You can appeal to district court, but this requires an attorney and involves more formal legal procedures. Most cases resolve at the county level through negotiation.
How often should I consider appealing my property taxes?
Review your assessment annually. Appeal whenever your increase seems disproportionate to neighborhood trends or when property conditions change significantly.
What evidence works best in Plano-area property tax appeals?
Recent comparable sales within your subdivision or immediate area, current photos showing property condition, and any appraisals you've obtained for financing or other purposes.
Will appealing affect my homestead exemption or other tax breaks?
No, appealing your assessment won't impact existing exemptions. In fact, your attorney can help ensure you're receiving all exemptions you're entitled to claim.
