Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze your property's assessed value against recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and property characteristics. We also review assessment records for errors or outdated information.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve any reduction, you owe nothing under our contingency arrangement. We only collect fees when we successfully lower your assessment and save you money.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals conclude within 3-6 months. Commercial properties may take longer due to complexity, typically 4-8 months depending on hearing schedules and negotiation requirements.
Can I appeal my taxes every year?
Yes, Texas law allows annual protests of your property assessment. We recommend reviewing your assessment each year, especially in rapidly changing markets.
What documentation do you need from me?
We typically need your current tax statement, recent sales contracts if applicable, and information about property condition or improvements. We handle gathering most required evidence.
Do I need to attend hearings personally?
No, we represent you at all hearings and handle all communications with the appraisal district. Your personal attendance is rarely necessary.
What percentage of appeals are successful?
Our success rate varies by property type and market conditions, but we typically achieve reductions for 70-80% of cases we accept. We only take cases where we see realistic potential for savings.
How are your fees calculated on contingency cases?
Fees are based on the actual tax savings achieved in the first year, typically 25-35% for residential properties. This ensures our interests align with maximizing your savings.
