Services
How They Can Help
The company offers comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with detailed property assessments and market analysis. They review your current tax assessment, compare it to similar properties, and identify potential grounds for reduction. Their residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and investment properties throughout Dallas County. For commercial clients, they handle office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. The team prepares and files formal protests with the appraisal district, presents evidence at hearings, and negotiates settlements when appropriate. They also provide ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and maintain records for future appeals. Additional services include exemption applications for qualified properties and consultation on property tax implications for new acquisitions or developments.
What to Expect
The process begins with a free consultation where they review your property tax statement and assess potential for reduction. If they accept your case, they'll conduct a detailed property inspection and gather comparable sales data. Next, they prepare and file your protest with the Dallas Central Appraisal District before the May deadline. They handle all communication with the appraisal district and prepare evidence packages for informal and formal hearings. If your case goes to hearing, they'll represent you before the Appraisal Review Board. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and strategy decisions. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months of filing.
