How They Can Help

The firm offers comprehensive property tax reduction services including formal protests with county appraisal review boards, binding arbitration proceedings, and district court litigation when necessary. They conduct thorough property valuations using comparable sales data, income approaches for commercial properties, and cost analysis methods to build strong cases for tax reductions. For residential clients, they handle homestead exemption applications, agricultural exemptions, and senior citizen disability exemptions. Commercial property owners benefit from their expertise in challenging assessments on office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and multi-family properties. They also assist with tax increment financing district appeals and special assessment challenges. The team provides ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch increases early and maintain optimal tax positions year after year.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free property assessment review where they analyze your current tax bill and property details to determine appeal potential. If they identify savings opportunities, they'll explain their contingency fee structure and begin gathering evidence including comparable sales, property condition reports, and market analysis. Once retained, they handle all paperwork and deadlines for filing formal protests with your local appraisal district. They represent you at hearings, presenting evidence and arguing for reduced valuations. If initial appeals aren't successful, they can pursue binding arbitration or district court litigation depending on the case merits and potential savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your appraised value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax protest?
In Texas, you typically have 30 days from the date you receive your notice of appraised value to file a formal protest. Some counties may have different deadlines.
How much does it cost to hire a property tax consultant?
Most consultants work on contingency, charging a percentage of the tax savings achieved. Typical fees range from 40-50% of the first year's savings.
Can I protest my property taxes myself?
Yes, property owners can represent themselves. However, experienced consultants typically achieve better results due to their knowledge of appraisal methods and local procedures.
What evidence do I need for a successful appeal?
Comparable sales data, photos of property condition, repair estimates, and income/expense information for commercial properties. Professional consultants handle evidence gathering.
How long does the appeal process take?
Informal reviews may resolve within weeks, while formal hearings can take 1-3 months. Arbitration or court appeals may take longer.
Will protesting my taxes trigger an audit or increase?
No, filing a legitimate protest won't increase your taxes or trigger audits. The worst outcome is maintaining your current assessment.
Can commercial properties benefit from tax appeals?
Yes, commercial properties often have more complex valuation issues and greater savings potential. Income-producing properties particularly benefit from professional representation.
