Our team includes certified tax professionals, former appraisal district employees, and licensed real estate professionals who understand property valuation from multiple perspectives. We've built our reputation on thorough analysis and strategic appeals that deliver results.

Our success comes from understanding local market conditions, assessment methodologies, and what evidence persuades appraisal review boards to reduce valuations.

How They Can Help

Our property tax practice encompasses complete assessment reviews, formal protest preparation, and representation at all levels of appeal. We handle residential properties from starter homes to luxury estates, plus commercial properties including retail centers, office buildings, industrial facilities, and multi-family developments. Services include detailed market analysis using recent comparable sales, income approach valuations for rental properties, and cost approach calculations for unique buildings. We coordinate professional appraisals, prepare comprehensive evidence packages, and handle all aspects of the formal protest process. Our team also provides ongoing tax planning, exemption applications, and compliance consulting. For property management companies and real estate investors, we offer portfolio services covering multiple properties across different counties.

What to Expect

We begin with a comprehensive property evaluation, reviewing current assessments against market evidence and identifying potential grounds for appeal. Our analysis includes comparable sales research, property condition assessment, and market trend analysis specific to your area. Once we determine appeal merit, we file formal protests and begin evidence gathering. This includes coordinating professional appraisals if needed, documenting property conditions, and preparing financial analysis for commercial properties. We handle all communication with appraisal districts and represent you at informal meetings and formal hearings. If initial appeals are unsuccessful, we advise on arbitration or litigation options and can coordinate with specialized attorneys when needed.

Service Area

We serve the greater Houston metropolitan area including Harris County, Fort Bend County, Montgomery County, and Brazoria County. Our coverage extends to Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Katy, Humble, Pasadena, and surrounding communities. We're familiar with procedures across multiple appraisal districts in Southeast Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We conduct detailed market analysis comparing your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties. We also consider property condition, location factors, and market trends affecting your specific area.
What's your success rate with property tax appeals?
Success rates vary by property type and market conditions, but we typically achieve some level of reduction in 70-80% of cases we accept. We only pursue appeals with reasonable prospects for success.
Can you handle appeals in multiple counties?
Yes, we're experienced with procedures in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Brazoria counties. Each appraisal district has specific requirements and deadlines that we manage for clients.
What if my property value has increased significantly?
Increasing property values don't prevent successful appeals if the assessment exceeds actual market value. We analyze whether the increase is justified by market conditions and comparable sales.
Do you offer services for property management companies?
Yes, we provide portfolio services for property managers and real estate investors with multiple properties. This includes annual assessment reviews and coordinated appeal strategies.
How long do appeals typically take?
Most residential appeals are resolved within 3-6 months. Commercial cases may take longer depending on complexity and hearing schedules at the appraisal review board.
What documentation do you need from property owners?
We typically need recent tax statements, any existing appraisals, property surveys, and for commercial properties, income and expense statements. We'll provide a complete list during consultation.
Can you help with properties that have environmental issues?
Yes, environmental contamination, flood damage, or other issues affecting marketability are legitimate grounds for assessment reduction. We coordinate with environmental consultants when needed for documentation.
