How They Can Help

Our core services include comprehensive property assessment reviews where we analyze your current valuation against comparable properties and market data. We handle formal protests with the Harris County Appraisal Review Board, preparing detailed evidence packages that support lower valuations. For commercial properties, we provide in-depth income and expense analysis to challenge excessive assessments. We also offer ongoing property tax monitoring services, automatically reviewing your assessments each year and identifying opportunities for appeals. Our valuation analysis services help property owners understand their true market value versus assessed value. Additionally, we provide consultation on property improvements and their tax implications, helping you make informed decisions about renovations and additions.

What to Expect

We start with a free property assessment review to determine if your property is overvalued and whether an appeal makes financial sense. If we proceed, we'll gather comparable sales data, property condition reports, and market analysis specific to your area. Next, we prepare and file your formal protest with the appropriate appraisal district, ensuring all deadlines are met. We represent you at hearings, presenting evidence and negotiating with appraisers on your behalf. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and handle all communication with tax authorities.

Service Area

We serve all of Harris County including Houston, Pearland, Pasadena, Baytown, and surrounding communities. Our team is familiar with local market conditions and appraisal practices across the greater Houston metropolitan area. We handle properties in both incorporated cities and unincorporated Harris County areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
We provide free assessments to compare your property's appraised value against recent comparable sales. If your assessment is 10% or more above market value, an appeal is typically worthwhile.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals?
In Harris County, protests must be filed by May 31st or within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice, whichever is later. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next tax year.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your property's overassessment level. Typical successful appeals result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value, translating to similar percentage decreases in your tax bill.
Do I need to attend the appeal hearing?
While property owners have the right to attend hearings, it's not required. We handle all hearing representation and communication with the appraisal review board on your behalf.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file an appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. We monitor our clients' assessments each year and recommend appeals when beneficial.
What happens if the appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve a reduction, you owe nothing under our contingency fee structure. Unsuccessful appeals don't negatively impact future appeal opportunities.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months from filing. Complex commercial properties may take longer, especially if they require formal hearings.
Will appealing my taxes affect my homestead exemption?
No, filing a property tax appeal has no impact on your homestead exemption or other tax exemptions. These are separate processes handled by different departments.
