How They Can Help

The company provides comprehensive property tax appeal services including formal protests with the Bexar County Appraisal Review Board and litigation support when necessary. Their residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and investment properties, while commercial expertise extends to office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and multi-family complexes. They conduct thorough property valuations using comparable sales analysis, income approach methodology, and cost approach calculations. Additional services include assessment review consultations, market value studies, and ongoing monitoring of property values to identify future appeal opportunities. The team also handles homestead exemption applications and provides guidance on property tax planning strategies for real estate investors and business owners looking to minimize their annual tax liability.

What to Expect

The consultation process begins with a free property assessment review to determine appeal potential. Clients provide recent tax statements and property documentation, which the team analyzes against current market conditions and comparable sales data. Once engaged, they prepare comprehensive appeal documentation including property inspections, market analysis reports, and supporting evidence. They handle all filing requirements and represent clients at Bexar County Appraisal Review Board hearings. If initial appeals are unsuccessful, they can pursue binding arbitration or district court litigation. Clients receive regular updates throughout the process and detailed explanations of outcomes and potential next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What percentage of appeals result in tax reductions?
Our success rate exceeds 80% in achieving some level of tax reduction for clients. The average savings ranges from 15-30% of the originally assessed value, though results vary by property type and specific circumstances.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most appeals through the Appraisal Review Board are resolved within 3-6 months. Complex commercial properties or cases requiring litigation may take 12-24 months to fully resolve.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If the initial ARB appeal doesn't achieve desired results, we can pursue binding arbitration or district court litigation. We discuss all options and potential costs before proceeding with additional legal action.
Can appealing my property taxes result in a higher assessment?
Texas law prohibits appraisal review boards from raising your assessment solely because you filed an appeal. Your taxes cannot increase as a result of the protest process.
What documentation do I need to provide for an appeal?
We typically need your recent property tax statement, survey, and any documentation of property issues or recent sales data. We'll guide you through gathering additional materials as needed for your specific case.
Do you handle appeals in counties other than Bexar?
Yes, we handle property tax matters throughout South Texas including Comal, Guadalupe, and Wilson counties. Our statewide expertise allows us to assist with complex commercial properties across Texas.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax protest?
Most protests must be filed within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice, though some circumstances allow for late filings. Contact us immediately if you're approaching or past the deadline.
How are your fees calculated and when do I pay?
We work on contingency, typically charging 25-35% of the first year's tax savings achieved. You pay nothing upfront and only pay fees when we successfully reduce your property taxes.
