The team conducts income and expense analysis, market studies, and physical inspections to support their cases. They're particularly skilled with properties requiring specialized valuation methods. The firm also handles exemption applications including homestead, over-65, disability, charitable, and agricultural exemptions. They provide consultation services for property purchases and development projects where tax implications need consideration. Their monitoring services help identify assessment problems before they become major issues.

Initial consultation involves reviewing your property records, recent assessments, and discussing your concerns. They provide an honest assessment of appeal prospects and potential savings. If you proceed, they handle all paperwork and deadlines. The team gathers supporting evidence including comparable sales, property inspections, and market analysis. They prepare detailed presentations for informal hearings and formal appeals if necessary. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and negotiate directly with appraisal district staff. Most cases resolve without requiring your attendance at hearings.

Harding & Carbone serves all of Harris County, including Houston, Pasadena, Baytown, Tomball, Humble, and Katy. They also handle select properties in adjacent counties like Montgomery, Fort Bend, and Brazoria when cases warrant their specialized expertise. Their familiarity with Harris County procedures gives them advantages in local appeals.
