How They Can Help

Our core services include comprehensive property tax appeals for both residential and commercial properties throughout Travis County. We conduct detailed property evaluations, research comparable sales data, and prepare all necessary documentation for informal and formal appeal processes. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and investment properties. For commercial clients, we handle office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, and mixed-use developments. Additional services include exemption application assistance, assessment error corrections, and property tax projections for potential buyers. We also provide ongoing consultation for property owners who want to understand their assessments and plan for future tax implications of property improvements or market changes.

What to Expect

We begin with a complimentary assessment review to evaluate your property's current valuation and identify potential appeal opportunities. If we find grounds for an appeal, we'll explain the process and provide a clear fee structure. Our team then conducts thorough property research, including site visits when necessary. We prepare and file all required paperwork with Travis County Appraisal District and schedule hearings on your behalf. Most cases are resolved through informal reviews, but we're prepared to represent you at formal hearings if needed. Throughout the process, we provide regular updates and explain each step clearly.

Service Area

We primarily serve South Austin and surrounding areas including Sunset Valley, Rollingwood, West Lake Hills, and Oak Hill. Our deep familiarity with South Austin's neighborhoods, from established areas like Zilker to newer developments in Circle C, gives us valuable insight into local market conditions and assessment patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in your standard appeal service?
We provide property evaluation, comparable sales research, all paperwork preparation and filing, and representation at informal hearings. Formal hearings may involve additional fees.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze recent comparable sales, review property characteristics, and compare your assessment to similar properties. We only recommend appeals when we identify valid grounds for reduction.
Do you guarantee results?
We can't guarantee specific outcomes, but we only take cases where we believe there's a reasonable chance of success. Our experience helps us evaluate cases realistically.
What if my property value has increased since I bought it?
Recent purchase price is just one factor in valuation. Even if your property has appreciated, your assessment might still exceed current market value due to timing or assessment methodology issues.
Can you help with properties outside South Austin?
While we focus on South Austin, we handle cases throughout Travis County. However, our deepest expertise is in South Austin neighborhoods and market conditions.
When is the best time to file an appeal?
Appeals should be filed as soon as possible after receiving your assessment notice. Waiting until closer to the deadline can limit available hearing dates and options.
What happens if I disagree with the informal review decision?
You can request a formal hearing before the Appraisal Review Board. We'll advise whether this option makes sense for your specific case and represent you if needed.
Do you handle homestead exemption applications?
Yes, we can help with homestead and other exemption applications. These are separate from appeals but can provide additional tax savings for eligible properties.
