How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax consulting services for both residential and commercial properties across Dallas County and surrounding areas. Our residential services include homestead property protests, luxury home assessments, and ongoing monitoring to catch unfair increases before they become costly problems. We're particularly skilled at handling unique properties where standard assessment methods often fail. For commercial clients, we offer detailed assessment reviews covering office buildings, retail properties, warehouses, and multi-family complexes. Our services include market analysis, highest and best use studies, and income approach challenges where assessors may have used inappropriate capitalization rates or inflated income projections. We also provide consultation on property tax planning for new developments and acquisitions, helping clients understand potential tax implications before making investment decisions.

What to Expect

We begin every engagement with a thorough review of your property records, recent assessment history, and current market conditions in your area. This initial analysis helps us determine the strength of your case and potential savings before moving forward. We'll conduct a property inspection when necessary and research comparable properties to build compelling evidence. Once we've prepared your case, we handle all filing requirements and represent you at hearings before the appraisal review board. Our goal is to negotiate favorable settlements when possible, but we're fully prepared to present formal evidence when needed. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and explain our strategy so you understand how we're working to achieve your tax reduction.

Service Area

We serve Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant Counties, with particular expertise in Dallas County appraisal district practices and procedures. Our knowledge extends to suburb markets including Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney, and surrounding communities where residential values have seen dramatic increases. We understand local market conditions and maintain relationships with area appraisers and review board members.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property is a good candidate for appeal?
We analyze your current assessment against recent comparable sales, market trends, and property-specific factors. If we don't see potential for meaningful savings, we'll tell you honestly rather than take a case we can't win.
What happens if the appraisal district raises my value during the protest?
Texas law prohibits appraisal districts from increasing your assessment during the protest process unless they discover previously unknown improvements or correct factual errors. Your value cannot go up simply because you filed a protest.
Can I protest my taxes every year?
Yes, you have the right to protest annually if you believe your assessment is unfair. We often represent clients multiple years in a row, especially during periods of rapid market change.
How long have you been practicing property tax law?
Kelly has over 20 years of experience in property tax consulting and appeals. This extensive background provides insights into changing assessment practices and successful strategies across different market cycles.
Do you handle appeals to district court if needed?
Yes, Kelly's legal background allows us to represent clients through the entire appeals process, including district court appeals when the potential savings justify the additional time and cost.
What's your success rate for property tax appeals?
We achieve reductions in over 90% of the cases we accept. Our selective approach means we only take cases where we see genuine potential for savings.
How much detail do you provide about your strategy?
We believe in keeping clients fully informed. Kelly personally explains our approach, the evidence we'll present, and realistic expectations for your specific situation.
What if I'm not satisfied with the outcome?
We discuss realistic expectations upfront and work diligently to achieve the best possible result. If you're not satisfied, we can explore further appeals or discuss why certain outcomes may not be achievable.
