How They Can Help

Our property tax services focus on residential appeals and small to medium-sized commercial properties. We handle single-family home protests, townhome and condominium appeals, and investment property challenges throughout the Austin metro area. Our real estate background helps us identify comparable sales data and market trends that appraisal districts often overlook. For commercial clients, we work with office buildings, retail spaces, small apartment complexes, and industrial properties under $5 million in value. We prepare detailed market analyses, challenge flawed assessment methodologies, and represent clients in hearings. Additional services include homestead exemption assistance, inheritance property evaluations, and guidance on property improvements that might affect future assessments. We also provide market analysis reports for clients considering purchases or refinancing.

What to Expect

We start with a comprehensive property evaluation using our real estate market analysis tools. We'll visit your property to assess its condition and unique characteristics, then research recent comparable sales and current market conditions in your area. After determining your appeal potential, we prepare a detailed evidence package including comparable sales analysis, property condition reports, and market trend data. We handle all paperwork and deadlines, then represent you at your hearing with compelling evidence and professional presentation. Throughout the process, we keep you informed with regular updates and explain each step in plain English.

Service Area

We serve the greater Austin metropolitan area including Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties. Our coverage includes Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs, and Lakeway. Our real estate practice gives us detailed knowledge of neighborhoods throughout these areas. As active real estate professionals, we maintain current market data across all the communities we serve. This local expertise helps us build stronger appeals based on actual neighborhood conditions and recent sales activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does your real estate background help with property tax appeals?
Our active involvement in buying and selling properties gives us current market insights and access to recent comparable sales data. We understand actual market conditions rather than just studying historical data like traditional consultants.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
Assessed value is what the appraisal district says your property is worth for tax purposes, while market value is what buyers would actually pay. These should be similar, but assessment errors can create significant differences.
Can you help me understand my assessment notice?
Absolutely. We explain all the components of your assessment notice in plain English and help you understand whether your valuation appears reasonable compared to current market conditions in your neighborhood.
Should I appeal my property taxes if my home value has increased?
Rising home values don't automatically mean your assessment is wrong. We analyze whether your specific increase is justified compared to similar properties and actual sales data in your area.
How do you determine comparable sales for my property?
We use MLS data, county records, and our market knowledge to identify truly comparable properties. We look at size, age, condition, location, and timing of sales to ensure valid comparisons.
What happens if we don't achieve a reduction?
With our contingency fee structure, you don't pay our fees if we don't achieve a reduction. You're only responsible for any third-party costs like appraisals that you specifically approve in advance.
Do property tax appeals affect future assessments?
Appeals create a record of your property's disputed value, which may influence future assessments. However, appraisal districts must reassess annually based on current market conditions regardless of previous appeals.
Can you help with commercial property appeals?
Yes, we handle smaller commercial properties including office buildings, retail spaces, and small apartment complexes. For larger or more complex commercial properties, we can recommend specialized attorneys.
