How They Can Help

Our core services include complete property tax protest management from initial review through final resolution. We analyze assessment methodologies, prepare detailed valuation challenges, and represent clients in all appeal proceedings. Our accounting expertise helps us identify assessment errors that other firms might miss. For commercial clients, we provide ongoing assessment monitoring and multi-year protest strategies. We work closely with property managers and real estate professionals to ensure accurate reporting and optimal tax positions. Our services extend to business personal property protests and exemption applications. We also offer tax planning consultation that integrates property tax considerations with your broader financial strategy. This includes timing strategies for improvements, exemption optimization, and coordination with income tax planning for investment properties.

What to Expect

We begin with a comprehensive property analysis that examines both current assessment accuracy and future tax planning opportunities. Our team reviews your property's assessment history, comparable sales, and any special circumstances affecting valuation. Once we identify viable protest grounds, we prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the appropriate appraisal district. We maintain regular communication throughout the process, explaining each step and any developments that might affect your case strategy. Our goal is efficient resolution at the earliest possible stage. We leverage our professional relationships and technical expertise to negotiate favorable settlements before formal hearings become necessary, saving time for everyone involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your CPA background relevant to property tax appeals?
Our accounting training helps us analyze income statements, financial reports, and valuation methodologies that drive commercial property assessments. We can spot technical errors that others miss.
Do you handle both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we work with all property types from single-family homes to large commercial complexes. Our approach adapts to the specific valuation methods relevant to each property type.
How do you charge for your services?
We offer flexible fee structures including contingency arrangements and flat fees. The best option depends on your property type, case complexity, and personal preferences.
Can you help with properties outside Travis County?
Yes, we serve Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties. Each county has different procedures, and we're familiar with all local appraisal district practices.
What documents do I need to provide for an appeal?
We'll guide you through document collection, but generally we need your tax notice, recent appraisals if available, and any documentation of property conditions or improvements.
How often should I appeal my property taxes?
We recommend reviewing your assessment annually. Market conditions and assessment practices change, creating new opportunities for successful protests even if previous appeals weren't successful.
What happens if the appraisal district raises my assessment during the appeal?
Texas law prohibits increasing your assessment above the original amount solely because you filed an appeal. Your assessment can only increase based on new information or errors in your original filing.
Do you provide ongoing tax planning advice?
Yes, our CPA background allows us to integrate property tax considerations into broader financial and tax planning strategies, especially for investment property owners.
