Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Texas?
Appeals must be filed by May 15th or within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice, whichever is later. Missing these deadlines typically prevents appeals for that tax year.
How much can I expect to save on property taxes?
Successful appeals typically result in 15-30% reductions in assessed value. The actual tax savings depend on your local tax rates and the size of the reduction achieved.
Do you charge upfront fees for property tax appeals?
Most appeals are handled on contingency, meaning no upfront costs. You only pay when we successfully reduce your assessment, typically 25-35% of first year savings.
What information do you need to evaluate my property?
Basic property details, recent assessment notices, and any relevant financial records for commercial properties. I can usually provide an initial assessment with just your property address.
Can you appeal both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, I handle both residential and commercial appeals. My background in real estate and appraisals covers all property types from single-family homes to complex commercial developments.
What happens if we don't win the appeal?
With contingency pricing, you owe nothing if we don't achieve a reduction. There are no costs to you unless we successfully lower your assessment and generate tax savings.
How long does the appeals process typically take?
Most appeals are resolved within 60-120 days, depending on complexity and hearing schedules. Simple error corrections can often be resolved in 30-45 days.
Will appealing my taxes trigger a review that could increase my assessment?
Appraisal districts cannot increase your assessment during an appeal unless they find significant unreported improvements. The risk is minimal compared to potential savings.
