How They Can Help

Our core services include comprehensive assessment reviews, formal protest preparation, and complete representation throughout the appeal process. We handle all property types including single-family residences, condominiums, townhomes, vacant land, and commercial properties such as office buildings, shopping centers, and warehouses. Our assessment review process examines recent comparable sales, property condition factors, and market trends that may not have been properly considered by appraisers. We provide complete documentation preparation for protests, including photographic evidence, market analysis reports, and expert testimony when needed. Our representation extends through informal reviews, formal hearings before the Appraisal Review Board, and binding arbitration or district court appeals when necessary. We also assist with exemption applications and reviews, including homestead, agricultural, and disability exemptions.

What to Expect

We begin with a detailed consultation to review your property assessment and explain potential savings opportunities. Our initial analysis is provided at no cost, allowing you to make an informed decision about proceeding. Once retained, we conduct comprehensive market research and prepare all necessary protest documentation according to Dallas County requirements. We represent you at all hearings and handle all communications with the appraisal district, keeping you informed of progress without requiring your direct involvement. Our goal is to resolve cases efficiently at the earliest possible stage, though we're prepared to pursue higher levels of appeal when the potential savings justify the additional time investment.

Service Area

We serve all of Dallas County including Dallas, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, Richardson, Carrollton, Plano, Farmers Branch, and all surrounding municipalities. Our extensive experience throughout the county gives us insights into local assessment practices, neighborhood trends, and market conditions that vary significantly across different areas of Dallas County.

Frequently Asked Questions

What percentage of property tax appeals are successful?
Our firm achieves reductions on approximately 80% of cases we handle. Success rates vary based on property type, assessment accuracy, and available market data supporting the appeal.
When is the deadline to file a property tax protest in Dallas County?
Protests must be filed by May 15th or within 30 days of receiving your notice of appraised value, whichever is later. Missing this deadline typically means waiting until the following tax year.
Can I still appeal if my property value increased due to improvements?
Yes, you can appeal if the assessed value of improvements seems excessive compared to actual costs or market impact. We often find assessment errors even on recently improved properties.
What documentation do you need from me to start an appeal?
We typically need your current tax statement, any recent appraisals, information about property condition or needed repairs, and details about recent improvements. We'll guide you through exactly what's helpful for your specific case.
Do property tax appeals affect my credit or property records?
No, filing a property tax appeal is a normal legal process that doesn't impact credit scores or create negative marks on property records. It's simply exercising your legal rights as a property owner.
What if the appraisal district raises my assessment during the appeal?
Texas law generally protects against assessment increases during the appeal process unless you specifically request a higher value or provide information that would justify an increase.
How do you determine if my property is overassessed?
We analyze recent sales of comparable properties, review assessment methodologies, examine property condition factors, and consider market trends. This comprehensive analysis reveals whether your assessment exceeds fair market value.
Can I appeal every year if I think my assessment is too high?
Yes, you have the right to protest annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. Market conditions change yearly, so previous appeals don't prevent future ones if circumstances warrant.
