How They Can Help

We handle comprehensive property tax appeal services from initial assessment review through formal hearings. Our residential services include homestead exemption applications, protest filing for over-assessments, and appeals to appraisal review boards. For commercial clients, we manage complex valuation disputes, income approach challenges, and mass appraisal corrections. Our team conducts thorough property inspections, analyzes comparable sales data, and prepares detailed valuation reports. We represent clients at informal hearings with chief appraisers and formal proceedings before appraisal review boards. When necessary, we pursue district court appeals for high-value properties. We also provide ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and file timely protests each year.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a free consultation where we review your property assessment and tax history. We'll analyze recent sales data and identify potential grounds for appeal. If we find merit in your case, we'll file the necessary protest paperwork before the May 15th deadline. Next, we gather evidence including property inspections, comparable sales analysis, and expert valuations when needed. We'll prepare your case presentation and represent you at informal meetings with the chief appraiser. If settlement isn't reached, we'll present your case to the appraisal review board and handle any subsequent district court appeals.

Service Area

We serve the entire Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex including Dallas, Collin, Tarrant, Denton, and Rockwall counties. Our office is centrally located in downtown Dallas, making us easily accessible for clients throughout North Texas. We're familiar with all local appraisal district procedures and maintain relationships with area appraisers and board members.

Savings vary widely based on property type and assessment accuracy. Residential savings often range from 5-20% while commercial properties may see larger reductions.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
