Do-It-Yourself Texas Property Tax Appeals - If you want something done right...
If you want something done right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself. We’re your digital do-it-yourself property tax appeals solution helping you effortlessly appeal your property value with your central appraisal district by providing you with all the evidence you need to be successful in lowering the value of your home according to the county, helping you save money. 97% of our clients had success last year resulting in an average tax savings of $623. That's TAX SAVINGS, not simply value reduction. We attribute our client's success to our information of course, but also based on the facts that indicate home owners receive more frequent reductions, and larger reductions when they protest their taxes themselves. Want proof? Read this article from the Houston Chronicle. We were recently featured in the Houston Press in an article documenting just how unfair this property tax system can be. What it comes down to is the simple fact that nobody can represent you and your interests better than you! All you need is the information to prove it without spending a lot of time. We take care of that, just take a look!

Tip 1 of many included in the evidence report. You should always protest your value, until your Market Value and Taxable Value equalize (Harris refers to your Taxable Value as "Appraised", most other counties refer to it as "Assessed"), your Taxable Value can increase up to 10% each year until the two equalize. The only time there will be a difference in values set by the counties is if your property has the Homestead Exemption, so make sure you file that if your property is your primary residence. It's not just about this year, be forward thinking.
When you protest your property’s value even once it can create lasting savings that compound year after year. The more often you protest your property’s value the more you can save.
Consider this: If your property’s appraised value in 2008 was $220,000 and you successfully protested and reduced your home’s value an average of $4,600 each year, you could easily save $12,540 over 10 years. Now imagine how much you can save if you averaged more than $4,600 a year, which you should with our help.
This example is based on a 3% annual tax rate and an average annual reduction of $4,600. Individual results will vary.
When your neighbor’s home values are valued consistently through-out the neighborhood, sharp rises in taxable values are less likely from year to year. Help your neighbors out and let them in on your little secret. Your community and yourself will benefit from it.

Protesting the value of your home is the only rational and proven method used to lower the amount of taxes you pay. Sure, you could take a lower income at work, but that’s not very rational. Use the one method that is fully backed by the Government in order to lower your taxes; appealing the value of your home. It is your Right. Own it.
When you don’t appeal the value of your home, you’re stuck with that value. If you’re able to lower it each year, then it will start lower next year. Protesting can easily save you hundreds of dollars each year and thousands as compounding takes place over the years. Turn that cycle a little more in your favor.
Many people think that if their property has a high county assigned value it will demand a higher price when you put it up for sell. Think of it this way. Would you rather purchase a home that you know will have high property taxes, or one that has low property taxes? Now which one is more attractive to a buyer?
Everyone likes having some extra money. When you lower the value that the county has assigned to your property, you are lowering the amount of taxes you’ll pay through escrow or at the end of the year. By appealing the value of your home you’ll be able to keep more of your hard earned money.
We provide you with the evidence you need so that you can lower the value of your property with your County Appraisal District. This is called teamwork, and this is how it works.
