How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax appeal services including initial case evaluation, formal protest preparation, and representation at all levels of the appeal process. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and investment properties throughout the San Antonio area. For commercial clients, we handle office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, and special-use facilities. We conduct thorough property analyses including physical inspections, market studies, and income evaluations when applicable. Our services extend to exemption applications, including homestead exemptions, agricultural exemptions, and charitable organization exemptions. We also provide consultation on property tax implications for real estate transactions and development projects. When cases require litigation, we're prepared to represent clients in district court proceedings and handle all aspects of formal legal challenges.

What to Expect

We begin each case with a detailed consultation to understand your property and review your current assessment. This includes analyzing comparable sales, examining assessment history, and identifying potential grounds for appeal. If we determine you have a viable case, we'll prepare and file all necessary protest documents within required deadlines. We handle all communications with the appraisal district and represent you at informal and formal hearings. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of developments and explain each step. If needed, we're prepared to pursue district court appeals for cases with significant potential savings.

We're familiar with the specific procedures and personnel at each local appraisal district, which helps us navigate the system efficiently for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How experienced is Mr. Casillas with property tax appeals?
Mr. Casillas has over 20 years of experience focused exclusively on Texas property tax law. He's handled thousands of appeals across all property types and stays current with all changes in tax law and local assessment practices.
What makes your approach different from other attorneys?
We focus exclusively on property tax matters, which allows us to develop specialized expertise that general practice attorneys don't have. Mr. Casillas personally handles each case and maintains direct client communication throughout the process.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
For cases that require upfront fees, we can discuss payment arrangements based on your specific situation. Most residential cases are handled on contingency, so no payment is due unless we achieve a reduction.
Can you help with property tax exemptions?
Yes, we assist with all types of property tax exemptions including homestead, senior, disability, veteran, and charitable exemptions. We can also help determine if you qualify for exemptions you may not be aware of.
What happens if the appraisal district offers a settlement?
We'll review any settlement offers with you and provide our recommendation based on the strength of your case and potential additional savings. The final decision on accepting settlements always remains with you.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We conduct comprehensive market analysis including recent comparable sales, property condition assessment, and review of assessment methodology. We also consider factors like location, condition, and market trends that may not be reflected in the appraisal.
Will I need to testify at the hearing?
Most clients don't need to testify, as we handle the presentation of evidence and arguments. However, if your personal knowledge about the property would be helpful, we'll prepare you for any testimony needed.
What's the difference between informal and formal hearings?
Informal hearings are less formal meetings with appraisal district staff to try to resolve disputes quickly. Formal hearings are before the Appraisal Review Board with more structured procedures. We handle both types and advise which approach is best for your case.
