Frequently Asked Questions

What are the deadlines for filing property tax appeals?
In Texas, you generally have 30 days from receiving your appraisal notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline eliminates most appeal options for that tax year.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the property and degree of overassessment. Successful appeals typically result in 10-30% reductions, which translate to ongoing annual savings.
Do you charge fees if the appeal is unsuccessful?
Many cases are handled on contingency basis, meaning no fees unless we achieve tax reductions. Fee structures are discussed during initial consultations.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your property is overassessed. However, frequent appeals require strong evidence of changing conditions.
What evidence do you need to support an appeal?
We typically use comparable sales data, property condition reports, income analysis for commercial properties, and market studies. Our team gathers most evidence needed.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex cases or those proceeding to arbitration may take longer. We keep clients updated throughout.
Will appealing my taxes trigger an audit or inspection?
Appraisal districts may inspect appealed properties, but this is routine and doesn't indicate problems. Inspections often support our arguments for reduced valuations.
What's the difference between informal and formal hearings?
Informal hearings are less structured meetings with appraisal staff. Formal hearings involve appraisal review boards with more formal procedures and evidence presentation.
