How They Can Help

Property tax assessment appeals form the core of their practice, handling everything from initial protest filings to formal hearings before appraisal review boards. They specialize in residential property protests for single-family homes, condos, and investment properties, plus commercial appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Valuation analysis services include comprehensive market studies, comparable property research, and income approach calculations for commercial properties. They also provide assessment review services to identify potential over-assessments before the protest deadline hits. For complex commercial cases, they coordinate with certified appraisers and present detailed evidence packages. Additional services include exemption applications for homestead, senior, and disability tax breaks, plus ongoing monitoring of your property's assessed value to catch future over-assessments early. They handle all paperwork, represent you at hearings, and provide detailed explanations of the appeals process from start to finish.

What to Expect

Your consultation starts with a free property assessment review to determine if you have grounds for an appeal. They'll analyze your current assessment, research comparable sales, and explain your reduction potential honestly. Once you decide to proceed, they handle all protest paperwork and filing requirements with Dallas Central Appraisal District. You'll receive regular updates as your case progresses through the system. If informal negotiations don't achieve satisfactory results, they'll represent you at formal hearings. The entire process typically takes 3-6 months depending on your case complexity and hearing schedules. You pay nothing unless they achieve a reduction, making the decision risk-free for property owners who qualify for their services.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can you typically reduce my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your property's over-assessment level and local market conditions. Successful residential appeals often achieve 10-25% reductions, while commercial properties sometimes see larger decreases. We provide honest assessments during free consultations.
What happens if my appeal isn't successful?
You pay nothing - our contingency fee structure means no cost unless we achieve a reduction. Your taxes remain at current levels, and you can try again next year if market conditions change.
Do I need to attend the hearing myself?
No, we handle all hearing representation on your behalf. Most clients prefer this approach since we know local procedures and hearing officer preferences better than property owners.
When should I file my property tax protest?
Dallas County's protest deadline typically falls in late May, usually 30 days after assessment notices mail. Earlier filing allows more preparation time and better hearing slot selection.
Can you help with both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial appeals throughout Dallas County. Commercial cases often require more complex analysis but can yield larger dollar savings.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most cases resolve within 3-6 months after filing. Complex commercial appeals or cases requiring formal hearings may take longer, especially during busy protest seasons.
What information do you need from me to get started?
Bring your current assessment notice, recent comparable sales if you have them, and any property improvement records. We can gather most necessary documentation ourselves.
Will appealing my taxes cause problems with future assessments?
No, successful appeals don't trigger retaliation or closer scrutiny. Assessment appeals are legal rights, and appraisal districts can't penalize property owners for exercising them.
