Freeman Tax Law

Freeman Tax Law specializes exclusively in property tax matters, providing focused expertise in assessment appeals and tax reduction strategies for Dallas-area property owners. Our concentrated practice allows us to stay at the forefront of changing tax laws, assessment methodologies, and successful appeal strategies that general practice firms might miss. We serve both individual homeowners facing unexpected assessment increases and commercial property owners managing complex portfolios. Our team understands that property taxes directly impact your bottom line and personal finances, and we're committed to ensuring accurate, fair assessments. By limiting our practice to property tax law, we've developed deep relationships with appraisal districts and a nuanced understanding of what works in different jurisdictions throughout North Texas.

Our primary service is comprehensive property tax appeal representation, handling every aspect from initial assessment review through final resolution. We conduct detailed market analyses using comparable sales data, cost approach calculations, and income approach valuations for commercial properties. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, files protests within required deadlines, and represents clients at both informal and formal hearings. We offer annual assessment monitoring services for commercial clients, proactively reviewing assessments each year and identifying opportunities for savings. Our exemption services include homestead exemption applications, over-65 and disability exemptions, agricultural and timber exemptions, and specialized commercial exemptions. We also provide property tax due diligence for real estate transactions, helping buyers understand potential tax implications before closing. For properties with unique characteristics or complex ownership structures, we offer specialized valuation consulting and expert witness services.

We begin each case with a comprehensive assessment review, analyzing your property's current valuation against market data and assessment methodology. Our team conducts property inspections when necessary and gathers supporting evidence including comparable sales, property condition reports, and market studies tailored to your specific property type. We file formal protests before the statutory deadline and prepare for informal conferences with appraisal district personnel. Most cases settle at this stage through negotiated agreements. When informal resolution isn't possible, we prepare detailed presentations for Appraisal Review Board hearings, including exhibits, comparable data, and expert testimony when beneficial. Throughout the process, we maintain regular communication about case progress and provide realistic expectations about potential outcomes based on our experience with similar properties.

We primarily serve Dallas County but handle cases throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex including Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and surrounding counties. Our focused practice in North Texas gives us intimate knowledge of local market conditions and assessment practices that benefit our clients. Our central Dallas location allows efficient service throughout the region while maintaining personal relationships with appraisal district staff across multiple counties. We also assist out-of-state investors and property owners who need local expertise for their North Texas holdings, providing comprehensive support regardless of the owner's location.
