Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during the property tax appeal process?
The process typically begins with informal discussions with appraisal staff, followed by formal hearings if necessary. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, and you'll receive regular updates throughout the process.
How do you determine if my property assessment is too high?
We analyze recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and your property's specific characteristics. This analysis helps determine whether your assessment exceeds fair market value and the likelihood of successful appeal.
Can appealing my property taxes affect my homeowner's insurance?
No, legitimate property tax appeals don't affect insurance coverage or rates. Insurance values and tax assessments serve different purposes and are calculated using different methods.
What if I disagree with the appraisal review board's decision?
You can appeal to district court within 60 days of the board's decision. However, court appeals involve additional costs and time, so we carefully evaluate the prospects for success before recommending this step.
How long do property tax reductions last?
Successful appeals typically reduce your assessment for the current tax year only. However, the reduction often carries forward if property conditions and market factors remain similar in subsequent years.
Do you handle cases outside of Collin County?
Our primary focus is Collin County, but we handle select cases in adjacent counties for existing clients. Each county has different procedures, so local expertise is important for optimal results.
What documentation do you need for my property tax appeal?
We'll need your recent property tax statement, deed, survey if available, and any recent appraisals. We can obtain additional documentation like comparable sales data and property records as needed for your case.
How do contingency fees work for property tax appeals?
You pay no upfront fees, and our fee is calculated as a percentage of your actual tax savings. If we don't achieve a reduction, you owe nothing for our services on contingency cases.
