How They Can Help

We offer comprehensive property tax appeal services designed to reduce your tax burden legally and effectively. Our residential services include homestead exemption applications, protest filings for single-family homes, condos, and investment properties. We handle every aspect of the appeals process, from initial assessment review to formal hearings. For commercial clients, we provide sophisticated valuation analysis for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. Our services extend beyond simple protests to include ongoing assessment monitoring, market analysis, and strategic tax planning. We also assist with special-use valuations for agricultural properties and charitable organizations. Our legal background allows us to handle complex cases that require courtroom representation, ensuring you have experienced advocates at every level of the appeals process.

What to Expect

Your engagement begins with a comprehensive property assessment review where we analyze your current valuation against comparable sales and market conditions. We'll explain our findings in plain terms and provide an honest evaluation of your appeal prospects. If we identify grounds for appeal, we'll prepare and file all necessary documentation with the appropriate review board. Throughout the process, we handle all communications with appraisal district staff and represent you at hearings. Most cases resolve at the informal or formal review level, but we're prepared to take strong cases to district court if needed. You'll receive regular updates and copies of all correspondence.

Service Area

We serve the greater Austin metropolitan area, including Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties. Our practice extends throughout Central Texas, covering property tax matters in Bastrop, Caldwell, and Blanco counties. While our main office is in Austin, we handle cases statewide for commercial clients with significant property holdings. We're familiar with local appraisal districts and their specific procedures throughout our service region.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. Look for significant increases that exceed market appreciation rates or obvious errors in property details.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Texas?
Generally, you have until May 31st to file a protest with your local appraisal review board. Some counties may have earlier deadlines, so check your assessment notice carefully.
Can you guarantee a reduction in my property taxes?
No ethical consultant can guarantee results. We provide honest assessments of appeal prospects and only take cases where we believe reductions are achievable.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of overassessment. Typical reductions range from 5-20% of assessed value, but some cases achieve much larger reductions.
Do I need to attend the hearing myself?
While property owners can attend, we typically handle all hearing appearances on your behalf. Your presence isn't required unless specifically requested.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If we don't achieve any reduction, you typically owe no fees under our contingency structure. Your taxes remain at the original assessment level.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals conclude within 3-6 months. Complex commercial cases or those requiring district court action may take longer.
Can you help with properties outside Travis County?
Yes, we handle property tax matters throughout Texas, though our primary focus is the Central Texas region including surrounding counties.
