How They Can Help

The firm specializes in property tax appeals for both residential and commercial properties throughout Dallas County. Services include formal protest filings, evidence preparation, and representation before appraisal review boards. They handle complex commercial appeals involving office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, and multi-family developments. Residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes, with particular expertise in market analysis and comparable property research.

They work closely with certified appraisers and real estate professionals to build compelling cases based on current market conditions, property defects, and comparable sales data.

What to Expect

The process begins with a comprehensive property assessment review and consultation to evaluate your appeal prospects. The firm analyzes your current assessment, recent sales data, and property conditions to determine the strength of your case and potential tax savings. Once you decide to proceed, they handle all paperwork preparation, evidence gathering, and filing deadlines. This includes coordinating with appraisers when necessary, collecting comparable sales data, and preparing legal arguments. Throughout the appeal process, they represent you at hearings and negotiate with appraisal district representatives to achieve the best possible outcome.

Service Area

Serving Dallas County and surrounding areas, including Dallas, Plano, Richardson, Garland, and Irving. The firm handles appeals with the Dallas Central Appraisal District and other local appraisal districts throughout the DFW metroplex. They're familiar with local market conditions, assessment practices, and hearing procedures specific to each jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Texas?
You must file your protest by May 15th or within 30 days of receiving your notice of appraised value, whichever is later. Missing this deadline means you can't appeal that year's assessment.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of overassessment. Typical reductions range from 10-30% of assessed value, which can result in hundreds to thousands of dollars in annual tax savings.
Will appealing my property tax increase my chances of being audited?
No, filing a property tax appeal doesn't increase audit risk. Property tax appeals are completely separate from income tax matters and are handled by different agencies.
Do I need to attend the hearing myself?
No, your attorney can represent you at the hearing. In fact, professional representation often achieves better results than property owners representing themselves.
What evidence do I need for a successful appeal?
Strong appeals typically include recent comparable sales, property condition reports, income and expense data for commercial properties, and professional appraisals when necessary. The attorney will help gather appropriate evidence.
Can I appeal if my property value increased but not as much as the assessment?
Yes, if the appraisal district's assessed value exceeds true market value, you have grounds for appeal regardless of whether your property appreciated. The issue is accuracy of the current assessment.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer. The timeline depends on hearing schedules and case complexity.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If the initial appeal is unsuccessful, you may have options for further review, including binding arbitration or district court appeal. Your attorney will advise on the best course of action based on your specific case.
