Von Dohlen Law Firm

Von Dohlen Law Firm brings over two decades of property tax expertise to Houston area property owners. Our attorneys specialize in challenging overassessed property valuations and securing meaningful tax reductions for both residential and commercial clients. We understand that property taxes represent one of your largest ongoing expenses. That's why our team takes a data-driven approach to each case, analyzing comparable sales, property conditions, and market trends to build compelling arguments for reduced assessments. Whether you're a homeowner facing steep increases or a business owner managing multiple properties, we'll fight to ensure you're paying only what you legally owe.

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential tax protests for single-family homes, condos, and investment properties. We handle commercial property appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and multi-family complexes. Our valuation analysis service examines your property's assessed value against current market conditions and comparable properties. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring, alerting you to significant valuation changes that warrant appeals. For commercial clients, we offer portfolio management services, tracking multiple properties and coordinating appeals across different jurisdictions. Our team prepares detailed evidence packages including property condition reports, market analyses, and comparable sales data. We represent clients at informal hearings with appraisal districts and formal proceedings before appraisal review boards. Additionally, we handle binding arbitration cases and district court appeals when necessary.

Your property tax appeal begins with a free consultation where we review your current assessment and recent tax notices. We'll explain your appeal options and potential savings based on our initial analysis. If you decide to proceed, we gather detailed property information and conduct thorough market research. Next, we prepare your protest filing and supporting documentation, meeting all deadlines with the appropriate appraisal district. We handle all communications with tax officials and represent you at hearings. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of developments and strategy decisions. Most cases resolve at the informal hearing level, but we're prepared to take your case through formal review boards or court proceedings if necessary.

We serve property owners throughout the greater Houston metropolitan area, including Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston counties. Our familiarity with local appraisal districts, market conditions, and assessment practices in these jurisdictions gives our clients a significant advantage in their appeals.
